ไก่ผัดพริกเกลือ (Gai Pad Prik Glae)
Elevate your dinner with this authentic Thai dish that's bursting with flavor and can be made in just 30 minutes!
Start by cleaning 500 grams of chicken and cutting it into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Mince 3 cloves of garlic and slice 2 green chilies. If you prefer less heat, remove the seeds from the chilies.
In a large pan, heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chicken pieces to the pan and sauté for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are cooked through.
After the chicken is cooked, add the sliced green chilies and stir for another 2 minutes.
Season with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of salt, mixing well to coat the chicken evenly.
Squeeze the juice of 1 piece of lemon over the chicken for an extra zing, and give it a final stir.
Remove from heat and serve hot with steamed rice.
