Ingredients
Protein & Vegetables
- 1 lb Chicken Breast cut into bite-sized pieces
- 8 oz Mushrooms cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 medium Onion finely chopped
- 2 Spring Onions finely sliced, for garnish
Sauce
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 tbsp Fish Sauce adds umami, optional
- 1 tbsp Chili adjust to taste, finely minced, green
- 1 tbsp Garlic Paste
- 1 tsp Sugar granulated or brown sugar
- 1 tsp Pepper black, freshly ground, to taste
- 1 tbsp Sesame Seeds for garnish, optional
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Add the sesame seeds (if using) and cook for a minute until fragrant. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 2 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic paste and green chili, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Finish the Stir-fry
- Stir in the soy sauce, fish sauce (if using), sugar, and black pepper. Add the cooked chicken back to the pan and combine everything thoroughly. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and the flavors to meld.
Serve
- Garnish with the sliced spring onions and serve hot with rice or noodles of your choice.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic, and ginger for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken, otherwise it will steam instead of brown. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Adjust the amount of green chili to your preferred spice level. Start with less and add more if desired.
- Feel free to add other vegetables to this stir-fry, such as bell peppers, broccoli, or snap peas. Add them along with the mushrooms.
