Ingredients
Chicken thighs or wings 700 g
Ginger 1 piece
Shallots 2 piece
Chilies 2 piece
Turmeric powder 1 teaspoon
Spring onions 2 stalk
Implementation Steps
01
Wash the chicken thoroughly with salt and vinegar, cut into bite-sized pieces and drain.
02
Cut the ginger into thin strips, crush or thinly slice the shallots, and crush the chilies.
02
Marinate the chicken with 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, 1/2 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder and the ginger and thinly sliced shallots for about 15-20 minutes.
04
Once marinated, heat oil in a pan and fry the shallots and ginger until fragrant, then stir-fry the chicken until partly cooked. Add enough water to just cover, plus the ginger strips and crushed chilies, and simmer over very low heat so the chicken absorbs the flavors.
05
When the braising liquid turns glossy and thick, the chicken is tender. Adjust the seasoning to taste, and add more chili if you like it hot.
06
When the chicken is done, spoon it onto a plate and top with spring onions and a little ginger.
