1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon Thai red curry paste
1 tablespoon peanut oil

THAI STYLE CHICKEN STIR FRY



Thai Style Chicken Stir Fry image

This came out of having some vegetables I wanted to use up before they needed throwing out, so feel free to play around with veg. It is super simple and easy to make without having a huge prep time. Although if you don't cook a lot of Asian style food like me, then a lot of people would not always have some of these ingredients on hand all the time. I love Chinese, Japanese, Indonesian, Malaysian etc.. So I have herbs and spices sitting in my cupboard that most people would have never heard of. The ingredients in this though are very common and with Asian becoming more popular to cook at home now days, rather getting a take out. The ingredients listed below are available at just about all regular supermarkets now.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 kg chicken breast, sliced thinly
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 -3 tablespoons peanut oil
4 green onions, sliced thinly
200 g bean sprouts
500 g baby bok choy, chopped coarsely
1 medium red pepper, sliced thinly (about250g)
3 tablespoons lime juice
100 ml sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sambal oelek (or more)
2 tablespoons fresh coriander, finely chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons of fresh mint, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Note: I served this without noodles if you choose to serve over noodles or rice, lower chicken weight to about 700-800g and bok choy to 250-300g and bean sprout to about 120g.
  • Combine chicken and ginger in a bowl, heat some of the peanut oil in a wok and cook chicken in batches, until browned all over, adding extra oil as needed.
  • Add a little extra oil and stir fry pepper and garlic for about 1-2 Min's, stir constantly so as not to burn garlic.
  • Add soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, sambal oelek, sweet chili sauce and sugar, stir to combine.
  • Add bok choy, sprouts, onion, coriander, mint, stir, cover for just a few Min's to just wilt vegetables (you still want a good crunch), stir once more and serve.
  • To serve: Serve as is on individual serving plates. Read note above if serving over rice or noodles.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you cook more efficiently and avoid scrambling.
  • Use a wok or large skillet: A wok or large skillet will allow you to cook the chicken and vegetables all at once. If you don't have a wok or large skillet, you can use a large saucepan or Dutch oven.
  • Use high heat: Thai stir-fries are cooked over high heat. This helps to quickly cook the chicken and vegetables and keep them crisp.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken and vegetables will not cook evenly. Cook the chicken and vegetables in batches if necessary.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for bell peppers, carrots, and onions. You can also use other vegetables such as broccoli, snap peas, or baby corn.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs such as basil, cilantro, and mint add a lot of flavor to this dish. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs.
  • Serve immediately: Thai stir-fries are best served immediately. The chicken and vegetables will start to lose their crispness if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

This Thai-style chicken stir-fry is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is cooked in a flavorful sauce made with ginger, garlic, and soy sauce, and the vegetables are crisp and tender. Serve this stir-fry with rice or noodles for a complete meal.
