Thai Sweet Chili Chicken - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and cut in small strips
1 medium onion, cut in strips
1/4 cup fresh gingerroot, cut in very thin strips
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
2 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes
vegetable oil
kosher salt
black pepper

Preparation

Fry the 1/2 of the onions, 1/2 of the ginger, and all the garlic in a very hot pan/pot with vegetable oil. (Add ingredients to the pan in the above mentioned order so that you don't burn the garlic).
After browning the edges of the onions (about 2-3 mins), add chicken. Fry for five more minutes.
Add sweet chili sauce, fish sauce, red pepper flakes. (You can add salt/pepper here too if you are familiar with this dish, otherwise wait so that you don't oversalt.).
Reduce heat to med-low and allow the chicken to simmer without the lid for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The liquid should reduce by at least half.
Salt/pepper to taste. (The chicken should be fully cooked at this point, so you can taste the sauce.).
Add the rest of the onions and ginger, then cook for 3-5 more minutes.
Enjoy with jasmine rice.
