Why This Recipe Is So Enjoyable

Brimming with rich flavors from garlic and mushrooms that perfectly complement the tender chicken thighs. It comes together quickly, making it ideal for a busy weeknight. Plus, it’s a comforting and satisfying meal that feels both hearty and fresh.

Cooking Hints

- Make sure the chicken pieces are dry before cooking to get a nice sear.
- Use high heat when stir-frying to keep the chicken juicy and to caramelize the mushrooms.
- Add garlic towards the end of cooking to prevent it from burning and turning bitter.

Step 1

In a bowl, whisk together water, brown sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic paste, fish sauce, and oyster sauce. Stir in the tapioca flour until it’s fully dissolved, then set the sauce aside.

Step 2

Heat some sesame oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the bell pepper, mushrooms, and onion, and cook them for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.

Step 3

Add the chicken thighs to the pan and cook for another 5 minutes or so, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside. Then, throw in the sliced garlic and stir everything together, cooking until the garlic smells fragrant, which should take about a minute.

Step 4

Pour the sauce into the pan and give everything a good stir. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens up a bit and coats the chicken and veggies nicely.

How To Plate This Dish

Serve this stir-fry over steamed rice or noodles to soak up the savory sauce. A side of steamed greens or a light cucumber salad can add a refreshing contrast. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for extra texture and flavor.

Storage Suggestions

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave to keep the chicken tender. Avoid freezing if possible, as the mushrooms may become watery when thawed.
