Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 2 pieces Lemongrass stalks (fresh, trimmed and finely chopped)
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 pieces Shallots (finely chopped)
• 1 piece Red chili (thinly sliced, or to taste)
• 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon Light soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro leaves (for garnish, optional)
• 2 cups Steamed rice (for serving, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

Prepare the lemongrass by removing the tough outer layers and finely chopping the tender inner stalks. Mince the garlic, chop the shallots, and slice the chili.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the fish sauce, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, and brown sugar. Stir well until the sugar dissolves. Set the sauce mixture aside.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the chopped lemongrass, minced garlic, shallots, and sliced chili to the skillet. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 6

Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until they are lightly browned and cooked through.

Step 7

Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the chicken and stir to coat evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves, if desired.

Step 9

Serve hot with steamed rice or your choice of sides.
