How to Make Gai Pad Med Mak Muey

  1. **Prep the Chicken and Veggies:** Dice the chicken into 1-inch pieces. Peel and slice the carrots. Slice the onions, bell peppers, and green onions. Mince the garlic and finely chop the chilies.
  2. **Stir-fry the Aromatics:** Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. **Cook the Chicken:** Add the chicken to the pan and stir-fry until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. **Add Vegetables:** Add the carrots and onions to the pan. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
  5. **Build the Flavor:** Add the sliced bell peppers, green onions, and chilies. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes.
  6. **Create the Sauce:** Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, fish sauce (if using), and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer.
  7. **Thicken the Sauce:** Slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry until the sauce reaches your desired thickness. Stir constantly to prevent lumps.
  8. **Garnish and Serve:** Stir in the roasted nuts. Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles. Enjoy!
