Hey everyone! It's been a minute since I last shared here. Today, I've got a super easy recipe to share—one of my go-to lazy cooking recipes that you can whip up in no time. Let's dive in!
"Ayam Padprik Spicy" typically refers to a Malaysian/Thai dish where chicken is stir-fried with a spicy sauce. The term "padprik" or "pad prik" is borrowed from Thai cuisine, indicating a stir-frying method, while "spicy" denotes the heat level of the dish.
INGREDIENTS:
I bowl boneless chicken breast or thigh, sliced into thin strips
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, thinly sliced
10 red chili, thinly sliced (adjust according to your spice preference)
3 tablespoons sweet soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons chili paste (adjust according to desired spiciness)
1 teaspoon sugar
Salt to taste
1 carrot ( cut thinly
4-5 kaffir lime leaves
Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish (optional)
Cooked rice for serving
INSTRUCTIONS:
Heat the cooking oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add minced garlic to the hot oil and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced chicken to the wok and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until it's cooked through and slightly browned. Remove the chicken from the wok and set it aside.
In the same wok, add a little more oil if needed, then add the sliced onions, red chili, and chili paste. Cook for about 10 minutes until the sambal (chili paste) starts to separate and float on the surface, indicating that the sambal is cooked thoroughly.
Return the cooked chicken to the wok and mix together sweet soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and carrot until well combined.
Stir well to coat everything evenly.
Cook for an additional 5 minutes, adding kaffir lime leaves and stirring constantly until everything is heated thoroughly and the sauce has slightly thickened.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or more red chili if desired.
Once done, remove from heat and transfer to a serving plate.
Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves if using.
Serve hot with steamed rice
Enjoy your delicious and spicy Chicken Padprik! Adjust the spiciness according to your taste preference.
