Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, sliced into thin strips
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemongrass minced (or 1 tablespoon lemongrass paste)
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • Cooked jasmine rice for serving
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Method
 

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the minced lemongrass, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the sliced red bell pepper and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
  5. Serve the stir-fry over cooked jasmine rice and garnish with fresh cilantro.
