Mom’s Weeknight Chicken Stir Fry

I don’t remember if this is how my mom would cook her chicken stir fry when I was little, but this is how she does it now. Really simple.  With only using chicken and no veggies, the flavor is concentrated, and there is no sauce.

• Chicken thighs, cut into big chunks
• Ginger, thinly sliced
• Garlic, minced
• Sweet Soy Sauce
• Soy Sauce
• Green onions, cut into 2 inch pieces (optional)

Heat a good amount of oil on medium heat.  Add the ginger and garlic and cook till fragrant but not browned

Add chicken and stir-fry till white on the outsides.

Add sweet soy sauce and regular soy sauce (about 1:1 to taste) and continue to stir-fry until fully cooked

Stir in green onions, then serve.

Simple Teriyaki Sauce
