Instructions

  1. 1Cut the about 680 g chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. In a medium bowl, combine the chicken pieces with 2 tbsp fish sauce and 1 tsp sugar. Stir to coat the chicken evenly and set aside to marinate.

  3. 3Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, about 175°C.

  5. 5Add the marinated chicken pieces to the skillet. Stir-fry for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 74°C. The chicken should no longer be pink inside.
