How to Make Super Quick Thai Flavoured Stir Fried Chicken

  1. Slice 1 lb chicken fillets into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick).
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the chicken strips with 1 tbsp vegetable oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 chopped spring onions (white and green parts), 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp chili sauce (optional), and 1 tbsp sugar.
  3. Heat a large wok or frying pan over high heat. Add the chicken mixture and stir-fry constantly until the chicken is cooked through (about 4-5 minutes).
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch) with 2 tbsp chicken stock until smooth.
  5. Pour the cornflour mixture into the wok and stir-fry continuously until the sauce has thickened and reduced by half (about 1-2 minutes).
  6. Stir in a large handful (about 1/2 cup) of chopped fresh cilantro (coriander).
  7. Serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with a fresh salad for a complete meal.
  8. For a milder flavor, omit the chili sauce.
