THAI GINGER CHICKEN (GAI PAD KING)
My family loved ordering this dish at our local Thai restaurant, but then they closed down for some unknown reason (they were always busy). So I decided to recreate this traditional dish at home. My husband says it's just like the restaurant...maybe even better? Please note that some people like to eat the ginger, while others don't but like the flavor it gives off. You can easily double this recipe to serve a larger group...plus it makes great leftovers.

THAI GINGER CHICKEN
Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix together the fish sauce, sugar, and honey. Keep near the stove along with the chicken and vegetables. Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat until very hot. Add the oil and swirl the pan to coat the bottom. Add the chicken in an even layer and let sear, undisturbed, for about 1 minute. Add garlic, stir and continue cooking for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Chicken will be lightly browned, but not cooked through. Add the bell pepper, onions, ginger and sauce. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the bell peppers and onions are tender-crisp. Serve immediately, with plain white or brown rice.
Tips:
- Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger, and it will give your dish a more authentic Thai flavor.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken should be cooked until it is no longer pink in the center, but it should not be overcooked, or it will become tough and dry.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Some good options include broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, and snow peas.
- Serve with rice: Thai ginger chicken is traditionally served with rice. Jasmine rice is a good choice, as it has a light, fluffy texture.
Conclusion:
Thai ginger chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken and vegetables. With its bold flavors and healthy ingredients, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
