How to Make Thai Chicken With Ginger And Mushrooms Gai King

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, and 1 tablespoon brown sugar until the sugar dissolves completely. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add 1 medium onion, thinly sliced, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, and stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until lightly browned.
  5. Stir in 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint, 8 oz sliced mushrooms (cremini or shiitake recommended), 2 green onions, thinly sliced, and 1-2 Thai chilies, finely chopped (adjust to your spice preference). Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the mushrooms are tender.
  6. Quickly pour the reserved vinegar-fish sauce-brown sugar mixture into the wok. Toss to combine and remove from heat immediately to prevent the sauce from becoming too thick.
  7. Serve immediately over steamed jasmine rice. Garnish with extra fresh mint and green onions, if desired.
