Steps

40-50 minutes

1

Marinate the chicken thighs in rice wine for at least 20 minutes. Cook the pasta until al dente (about 9 minutes), then drain and set aside.
2

Heat sesame oil over low heat and sauté the ginger slices until fragrant. Roll the ginger, then add garlic and cook until golden. Add shiitake mushrooms, stir-fry, then remove and set aside.
Tip: You can substitute king oyster mushrooms if you like.
3

Sear the chicken thighs until browned, then add the onion and stir-fry. Remove and set aside.
4

Caramelize the rock sugar in the pan.
Tip: Don’t add too much sugar, or the dish will be too sweet.
5

Return all the cooked ingredients and pasta to the pan. Add chili pepper, toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, and rice wine. Simmer together.
Tip: Use equal parts of toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, and rice wine, but you can reduce the sesame oil to half if you prefer.
6

Just before serving, add Thai basil and toss briefly. Serve immediately.
