This dish is a nostalgic taste from the dining table. After my mom's offerings, she would cut up a whole chicken and stir-fry it with soy sauce and garlic cloves, making it delicious with rice. If you don't perform offerings or can't chop a chicken, no worries. Buying pre-cut chicken thigh pieces and stir-frying them with soy sauce and garlic cloves is just as tasty.

Ingredients

15 minutes
  1. 2Taiwanese free-range chicken thighs
  2. 4 slicesfresh ginger
  3. 9 clovesgarlic
  4. 2 sliceschili pepper (optional for garnish)
  5. 1green onion (optional for garnish)
  6. Seasoning
  7. 1 tablespoonsoy sauce
  8. 1/3 teaspoonwhite pepper
  9. 1/3 teaspoonblack peppercorns
  10. 3 1/3 tablespoonswater (50cc)

Cooking Instructions

15 minutes
  1. 1

    ● Wash the chicken thigh pieces to remove impurities and blood to avoid a gamey taste. Free-range chicken thighs don't have much fat, so no need to trim. ● Wash the garlic cloves, crush them with a knife, and peel for better flavor absorption. ● Scrub the ginger clean and slice thinly for easier flavor infusion. ● Wash the chili peppers and cut them into long diagonal slices (for color, can be omitted if you don't like spicy).

  2. 2

    ● In a pan over low heat, place the chicken pieces skin-side down without adding oil. Set a timer and cover the pan to cook for 6 minutes until the chicken skin releases oil. ※ If your pan tends to stick, add 2 teaspoons of oil to grease it. ● After 6 minutes, use chopsticks to flip each chicken piece.

  3. 3

    ● Make space in the pan and add the ginger slices and crushed garlic. Sauté in the chicken skin oil to bring out the natural flavors. Set a timer and cover the pan to sauté for 3 minutes. This step is key to the dish's full aroma and deliciousness. ● After 3 minutes, uncover and stir-fry to coat the chicken pieces with ginger and garlic aroma. Add the seasoning and stir well. Set a timer and cover the pan to cook for another 5 minutes. ● After 5 minutes, uncover and stir-fry to evenly coat the chicken with sauce and prevent sticking. Let the sauce reduce slightly, then turn off the heat to finish.

  4. 4

    If you have Lee Kum Kee oyster sauce, it adds a nice flavor too. ※ While waiting for the ingredients to cook, you can wash and dry the green onion, cut it into strips with scissors, and soak in clean water to curl. Use as a garnish to enhance the table's presentation.
