I don’t truly even know if this recipe has a reputation. It’s in all probability not one thing you’d discover in a Thai restaurant. By this, I imply it’s not a “identified” Thai dish, like Pad Thai, Pad See Ew and so forth.

In most of the Thai cookbooks I’ve flicked by means of through the years, I virtually all the time discover a generic stir fry that makes use of a really comparable sauce. I even discovered one within the Spice I Am cookbook (learn extra about that within the Pad Thai recipe, it’s my present favorite Thai cookbook).

In Thailand, many dishes are served with a juicy wedges of tomato and cucumber. No dressing, simply plain. They’re an important pairing with the kapow flavours occurring in most Thai dishes. Plus, it rounds out out the meal so we get our veg repair! 🙂

However I additionally occurred to have a giant batch of my all time most incessantly made Asian-esque salad: a Cabbage salad with crunchy noodles and a sesame dressing. So I caught it within the photograph to offer you just a little preview as a result of it’s coming quickly. I make it so typically it borders on the facet of obsession.

Ingredients

  • 2 tsp light soy sauce (Note 1)
  • 1 tsp dark soy sauce (Note 1)
  • 2 tsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp cooking oil (I use peanut or vegetable oil)
  • 3 Thai or birds eye chillis or other small hot red chilli , finely chopped (Note 2)
  • 4 garlic cloves , finely chopped
  • 1 small onion , halved and sliced (brown, white or yellow)
  • 500 g / 1 lb ground / mince chicken
  • 3 shallot / scallions stems , chopped into slices
  • 1 cup coriander/cilantro leaves (loosely packed)
  • Steamed jasmine rice

Instructions

  1. Mix Sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
  2. Heat oil in a wok or heavy based skillet over high heat. Add garlic and chilli – cook for 15 seconds.
  3. Add onion and cook for 45 seconds.
  4. Add chicken and cook, breaking it up as you go. When it changes from pink to white, add Sauce. Cook until the liquid mostly disappears – about 2 minutes.
  5. Stir through shallots. Then stir through coriander and immediately take off the heat.
  6. Serve immediately with jasmine rice or other rice – or for a low carb, low cal option, try Cauliflower Rice! Add slices of cucumber and tomato wedges (very authentic Thai!). Garnish with extra chilli and coriander if desired.

Notes

1. Light soy provides salt whereas the dark soy mainly adds colour, plus some flavour. You can use just light soy sauce (but your meat won’t be as brown like you see in the photos). You could also use just all purpose soy sauce (i.e. label does not say “light”, “dark” or “sweet” soy sauce). Don’t use just dark soy sauce – the flavour will be too strong.
2. Use any chillis you want – and adjust amount to your taste. 3 birds eye red chillis which is what I use makes this mildly spicy, use 4 for quite spicy. 3 Thai chillies would be spicier.
If you don’t have fresh chilli, you can either use dried red chilli flakes (1 1/2 tsp – add with garlic) or you can add chilli sauce or chilli paste into the sauce (i.e. the paste minced chilli sold in jars). I would use 2 1/2 tsp chilli paste or 1 tbsp Sriracha Sauce.
3. I know it’s weird for a recipe to make 3 servings, but mince is sold in 500g/1lb packets here in Australia. So I always make this using that quantity of meat. Leftovers are fabulous!
4. To use this for bite size pieces of meat (500g / 1 lb), increase the Sauce by 50%, or reduce the meat to about 350g / 12 oz. Sauce spreads better throughout minced meat, so you don’t need as much. For noodles, this amount of Sauce is enough for 2 servings – use 150g/5oz of dried rice noodles or 200g / 7 oz fresh noodles, plus meat and veg of choice.
5. Nutrition per serving, assuming 3 servings. The sodium can be reduced by using low sodium soy sauce.
