Ingredients

  • about 450 g Chicken thighs, boneless, skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 stalks Lemongrass, minced
  • 1 small Red chili, minced (adjust to taste)
  • 1 medium Onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
  • 4 cups Steamed rice
  • 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1In a bowl, combine the about 450 g Chicken thighs, boneless, skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces with 2 tablespoons Fish sauce, 1 tablespoon Sugar, 1 tablespoon Soy sauce, 2 cloves Garlic, minced, 3 stalks Lemongrass, minced, and 1 small Red chili, minced. Stir everything together to coat the chicken evenly. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
  2. 2Place a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil and heat until it shimmers, about 1 minute. This is approximately 204.4°C (200°C).
  3. 3Add the 1 medium Onion, sliced, to the hot wok. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the onions are softened and slightly translucent.
  4. 4Add the marinated chicken mixture to the wok with the onions. Stir-fry for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is cooked through and has a browned exterior. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 74°C.
  5. 5Remove the wok from the heat. Serve the Gà Xào Sả Ớt hot alongside 4 cups Steamed rice. Garnish with 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped.
