👨‍🍳 作り方

1
In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped lemongrass, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the chicken. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator).
2
Heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
3
Add the marinated chicken to the hot wok in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding). Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
4
If the mixture seems dry, you can add a splash of water or chicken broth (about 2-3 tbsp) to create a light sauce.
5
Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the chicken.
6
Remove from heat. Stir in most of the chopped green onions.
7
Serve hot, garnished with the remaining green onions and sliced red chili (if using). This dish is excellent served with steamed rice.

💡 プロのコツ

✓Ensure the lemongrass is finely chopped or pounded to release its full aroma.
✓Don't overcrowd the wok when stir-frying the chicken, as this will steam it instead of searing it.
✓Adjust the amount of soy sauce and oyster sauce to your taste.
