Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into thin strips
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 3 Tbs. peanut or canola oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 Tbs. minced fresh ginger
- 2 Tbs. finely chopped lemongrass
- 4 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2/3 cup chicken broth
- 2 Tbs. Asian fish sauce
- 2 Tbs. chopped fresh mint
- Steamed rice for serving
Instructions
- <b>Stir-fry the chicken</b>
- Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. In a wok or large fry pan over high heat, warm the oil. Add the chicken and stir-fry until golden and nearly cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, lemongrass and half of the green onions and stir-fry just until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- <b>Finish the dish</b>
- Add the broth and fish sauce to the pan, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer until the chicken is opaque throughout and the sauce is slightly reduced, 2 to 3 minutes more. Sprinkle with the remaining green onions and the mint and serve immediately with steamed rice. Serves 4.
