Ingredients

Method

1
Combine the chicken pieces with fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar in a bowl, stirring well to coat the chicken evenly. Set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
2
Heat oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until it shimmers. Working in batches to avoid crowding, add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until the pieces are golden on all sides.
8 minutes
3
Push the cooked chicken to the sides of the wok. Add the finely chopped ginger and green chillies to the center, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4
Return all chicken to the center of the wok and toss to combine with the ginger and chillies. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
5
Sprinkle the tapioca flour over the chicken mixture and stir quickly to coat everything evenly. This will help thicken the sauce as it cooks.
6
Add a splash of water (approximately 3-4 tablespoons) to the wok and stir until the sauce becomes glossy and coats the chicken pieces.
2 minutes
7
Fold in the chopped mint gently, reserving a small handful for garnish, and toss to distribute throughout the chicken.
8
Transfer the chicken to a serving plate and garnish with the ground peanuts, sesame seeds, and reserved fresh mint. Serve immediately while hot.
