Chicken and Ginger Stir fry

Chelseagirl · Chicken and Ginger Stir fry

Has anyone got a quicj and easy recipe for Chicken and Ginger Stir Fry, with noodles?
Or rice, I am not bothered which, love them both.

How much fresh ginger would I use? An Inch?

Thank you in advance

Oh, just read this.

Do you want just ginger? I find a few more thai spices added make it even better

How about:
Half an onion
Ginger (about 2cm square)
fresh coriander
a couple of chillies
several cloves of garlic

I'm never exact.

You can either:

Thai curry
You can leave in the chilli seeds or take them out.
Whizz everything together in a blender, add a big splash of soy sauce, a splash of fish sauce and stir into the chicken, marinade for a few hours.
Then slam in a pan, stir around and add a tin of coconut milk. Allow to cook for about 15 or 20 mins for it to infuse. Season as needed.
When just about to serve, add a bit more fresh coriander.

It is an easy recipe and impresses people that you did it from scratch!

Or;
The above ingredients, but a little less garlic, and use spring onions instead of normal onion.
Either chop them all up fine, or squash in a pessle and mortar, or whizz them up and marinade the chicken and just stir fry it as is. You can add a dash of coconut milk, but only a dash, so it's not like a sauce like the curry. Or no coconut, it's just as nice. Adding pak choi right at the end is delicious. Although I prefer pak choi crunchy, so better without a sauce if you use it. Mushrooms work well in a stir-fry too.

You can play with it as you like, adding bits more of this and that. IMO, don't add dried spices if you are using fresh spices as you don't want to pan asian too much. Sticking to thai is better or one region as I don't like fusion.

I have just seen this too

I don't pop in here that often.

Thank you GQB.

I love fresh coriander, smells and taste devine.

I'll have to give the fish sauce a miss though.

You can't taste the fish sauce - it's not like FISH, if you get me. It's just a thai ingredient.

I know, but I am such a finicky person.
I stopped eating Lea and Perrin Sauce when I found out it had anchovies in it

It's the knowing it' there that stops me.

Same as the stir fry sauces with OYSTER SAUCE.

Silly I know
