chicken-beansprout-recipeThis is a nice light delicately flavoured stir fry chicken. A great dish to accompany any hot, spicy meal as an extra dish to refresh the palate or it can be served on its own with jasmine rice.

This traditional Thai recipe uses Mung bean sprouts often just called either Mung beans or bean sprouts depending on your part of the world, they are in fact the sprouts of the Mung bean and used in many Thai Stir Fry Recipes.

Serving suggestions:
Serve with Jasmine rice, this is a mild and flavoursome light chicken stir fry recipe often served to compliment something more richly flavoured and spicy. A great accompaniment to this one would be our Dry Chicken Red Curry or perhaps our Pork Red Curry Stir Fry or maybe if you want a light lunch it would go well with our Spicy Sour Prawn Soup (Tom Yam Gung) or just a side dish or Pork One Sun.

Khwanjai’s Top Tips:

This is typical Thai food preparation; get all the ingredients ready for the pan because we’re going to be cooking on high heat for a very short while. The nice thing about this style of cooking is it keeps the vegetables nice and crisp and at the same time retaining all the vitamins, goodness and flavours. As usual for fast cooking a wok is best, but a large saucepan or frying pan will do.
When adding the garlic at the start, it should only 5 – 10 seconds to start turning golden brown if it takes longer, yer fat aint hot enough, it’s not a problem, just wait until it starts and by then – it’s hot enough.
In this video we show you how to cope if your oil is too hot! No Problem
