Thai Garlic Pepper Chicken Recipe 385

THAI GARLIC PEPPER CHICKEN RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Steps:

• Rinse and cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces (see picture). Smash the garlic lightly with the side of a knife. Remove the skin if not using thin-skinned Thai garlic. Heat the oil in a pan until very hot. Add the garlic and keep stirring so it doesn't burn. When (very) lightly browned, add the chicken (or meat, or whatever you're using!). Cook until done (not raw). If it gets dry and sticky, add some water to the pan about 1-2 tablespoons at a time. Add the palm sugar, fish sauce and pepper. You may need to add a bit more water here so that it mixes well. Mix well and serve on rice (for a one-dish meal), or in a plate (to share with friends). Garnish with cilantro. Note: If making a vegetarian version - pre-fry the tofu first until browned, remove, then start with step 2. Substitute the fish sauce for :white soy sauce:.
