Categories     Chicken     Stir-Fry

Yield 6 SERVINGS

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, fat trimmed, meat cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons canola oil
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 plump stalks of lemongrass, tender white inner bulb only, minced
1 medium red onion, quartered lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 cup Chinese cooking wine, sake, or water
1/2 cup Vietnamese Stir-fry Sauce
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon Asian chile paste
4 large scallions, cut into 1/2-inch lengths
5 small dried red chiles
1 large jalapeno, seeded and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, toss the chicken pieces with 2 tablespoons of the canola oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons of kosher salt and 3/4 teaspoon of pepper. In a large skillet or a wok, heat 2 tablespoons of the canola oil until small puffs of smoke begin to appear. Add half of the chicken and stir-fry over high heat until browned in spots, about 3 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in the skillet. Add the lemongrass, onion and garlic and cook over high heat, stirring, until fragrant, 2 minutes. Add the wine and cook until slightly reduced, about 1 minute. Add the Vietnamese Stir-fry Sauce, oyster sauce, chile paste, scallions, dried chiles and jalapeno; bring to a boil. Add the chicken to the sauce and simmer until heated through, then serve. SERVE WITH: Steamed jasmine rice.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it! He said it was the best chicken dish he's ever had. I'm going to try making it again with less chili peppers next time.

I'm not usually a fan of spicy food, but this dish was surprisingly mild. The flavors were still really complex and delicious, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.
