Directions Thai Ginger Chicken (Gai Pad King)
Directions
-
Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the garlic and chicken, cook for 2 minutes. Add the fish sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, ginger, red pepper, mushrooms, and onions. Cook and stir until the chicken is no longer pink and the vegetables are nearly tender, about 3 minutes. Dissolve the chile paste in the chicken broth, then add to the chicken mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper, sprinkle with cilantro leaves to garnish. Serve with the hot rice.
