Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb boneless chicken thighs cut into 1” strips
  • 3-4 inch piece of ginger skin removed, julienned thin
  • ½ head garlic minced
  • 4 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 2 tablespoon seasoning sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dark thick soy sauce
  • ½ tablespoon chicken bouillon
  • ½ tablespoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 cup coco rico soda
  • 2 tablespoon cooking oil

Instructions

  • Marinate your sliced chicken thighs with oyster sauce, seasoning sauce, dark thick soy sauce, chicken bouillon, sugar, and fish sauce for at least 15 minutes. Overnight is best.
  • Prepare your ginger and garlic prior to cooking.
  • In a large wok, heat 2 tablespoon cooking oil over medium high heat.
  • Once hot, add your garlic and ginger. Sauté for 1 minute.
  • Add your marinated chicken. Cook for 3 minutes or until your chicken is no longer pink.
  • Add your coco rico soda.
  • Turn the heat down to medium-low. We want a low simmer (still bubbling)
  • Allow this to simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Garnish with fresh green onion or cilantro and Thai peppers if you like spice.
  • Serve with rice and fresh vegetables! This sauce goes great with lettuce or Vietnamese herbs too!
