Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok over high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb thinly sliced boneless skinless chicken thighs and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the edges start to brown but chicken is not fully cooked.
  2. Step 2: Add 5 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp minced ginger, and 3 thinly sliced fresh red chilies to the wok. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and the garlic just begins to color.
  3. Step 3: Pour in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp dark sesame oil, and sprinkle 1 tsp sugar over the chicken and aromatics. Toss continuously for 2-3 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens slightly to coat the pieces.
  4. Step 4: Remove from heat and stir in 2 sliced green onion stalks for fresh crunch and flavor. Serve immediately with steamed jasmine rice or noodles.
