Ingredients
For the sauce
- 1/3 cup soy sauce / tamari sauce
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup dark brown sugar
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 2 tsp lime juice
For the ginger chicken
- 1 kg (2lbs) boneless, skinless chicken thighs sliced into bite-sized chunks
- 2 tsp sesame oil (alternatively use canola or vegetable oil)
- 3 tsp grated ginger
- 3-4 garlic cloves crushed
Instructions
- Combine all the sauce ingredients in a bowl or measuring jug and set aside.
- Heat a large pan or skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.
- Season the chicken with salt then brown in the pan until golden brown on all sides. If your pan isn't big enough, cook the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
- Add the sesame oil to the pan then add the ginger and garlic. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant then pour in the sauce.
- Allow to come up to a boil then add the chicken back into the sauce.
- Allow to simmer, stirring regularly, until the sauce has reduced and the chicken is cooked through and sticky.
- Serve with rice and greens of your choice.
