Ingredients

• 300 grams Chicken breast, thinly sliced
• 50 grams Fresh ginger, julienned
• 1 medium White onion, sliced
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 2 stalks Green onion, chopped into 1-inch pieces
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
• 1.5 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Fish sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 2 tablespoons Water or chicken stock
• 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
• 1 piece Fresh Thai chili, sliced (optional)
• 4 servings Cooked jasmine rice (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all the ingredients by slicing the chicken, julienning the ginger and carrot, slicing the onion, chopping the green onion, and mincing the garlic.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and water or chicken stock. Set the sauce aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and optional Thai chili. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced chicken to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink on the outside.

Step 6

Add the julienned ginger, carrots, and sliced white onion. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 7

Pour the prepared sauce into the wok and mix well, ensuring everything is evenly coated.

Step 8

Add the chopped green onions and stir-fry for 1 more minute. The chicken should be fully cooked, and the vegetables slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 9

Remove the wok from heat and immediately serve the Gai Pad Khing over steamed jasmine rice.
