Thai Ginger Chicken (Gai Pad King)
Ingredients Needed
-
3 ½ cups water
-
1 ½ cups uncooked jasmine rice
-
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
-
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
4 green onions cut into 2-inch pieces
-
1 large red bell pepper, cut into strips
-
¾ cup sliced fresh mushrooms
-
½ cup fresh ginger, cut into matchsticks
-
1 tablespoon Asian fish sauce
-
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
-
1 tablespoon white sugar
-
½ teaspoon Thai red chili paste, or to taste
-
2 tablespoons chicken broth
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
Instructions
In a saucepan, bring water and rice to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
Heat a wok or large skillet on medium-high heat. Add chicken and garlic, cooking for 2 minutes. Stir in green onions, bell pepper, mushrooms, ginger, fish sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Continue to cook, stirring, until the chicken is no longer pink and the vegetables are almost tender, about 3 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk chili paste into chicken broth until dissolved, then add it to the wok. Season with salt and black pepper. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with rice.
