Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic
- ½ white onion
- 1 cup bell peppers
- 3 green onions
- 4 Tablespoons Thai roasted chili paste
- 3 Tablespoons Gogi tempura flour
- 2 cups chicken thighs
- oil for deep frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Mince the garlic finely. Cut the white onion and bell peppers into bite-sized pieces. Slice the green onions into 1 inch lengths. Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces, removing any large chunks of fat.
- Deep Fry the Chicken: Mix the Gogi flour with the chicken until each piece of chicken is well coated. Add approximately two inches of oil to a pot and heat over medium heat until the oil is 350 degrees. Once the oil is hot, add the coated chicken and fry for approximately 3 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the hot oil and allow to drain on a paper towel. Repeat with each batch of chicken until all of the chicken is deep fried.
- Stir Fry the Chicken: Heat a tablespoon of oil over high heat in a pan or wok. Add the garlic and stir fry quickly until fragrant. Then add the roasted chili paste and allow to cook until it becomes saucy.1 Next add the onion and bell pepper pieces and allow to cook until they are slightly tender. Add the deep fried chicken pieces, and coat in the sauce. Finally, add the green onions, stir to incorporate, and take off the heat.
- Serve: Serve the Chicken Stir Fry with fresh jasmine rice. It is best when freshly made, but can also be heated up for serving if you have leftovers.

Notes
