Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds chicken thighs, cut into thin strips
  • 3 tablespoons fish sauce, or more to taste
  • 1 ½ tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 ½ red bell peppers, cut into strips
  • ¼ cup chopped lemongrass
  • ¼ cup grated fresh ginger root
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1/3 cup chopped green onions
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more to taste
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1
Mix chicken, fish sauce, and honey together in a bowl; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat; swirl in oil. Add red bell peppers, lemongrass, ginger, and garlic; cook until red bell pepper strips tender, about 5 minutes. Add chicken mixture; saute until chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes.

Step 3
Stir green onions, chicken broth, sugar, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper into the wok. Simmer, uncovered, until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.

Cook’s Notes:

Substitute peanut oil for the vegetable oil if preferred.
