Bac Ha Chicken Cooked in Ginger

About the Recipe

Ingredients

Attention: Skin must be peeled and these must be cooked before consumption.
Bac Ha is in the same family as taro.
This makes a great base for soups that usually call for potatoes. The stalk is slightly spongy so they absorb flavors of the dishes they are cooked in.

Directions

Mix the fish sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar together in a bowl until the sugar is dissolved. Add the garlic and ginger, mix, then add the chicken. Marinate the chicken for 20 minutes.
Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat; when hot add the marinated chicken pieces and discard excess marinade. Stir fry until the chicken is cooked, about 5 minutes, add the white parts of the green onion, along with the jalapeño and stir fry for 2 - 3 minutes.
Add the chicken broth and allow to simmer vigorously for 5 minutes. Add the slurry and let thicken.
Stir in half the cilantro and green onion tops. Serve topped with remaining cilantro and sliced green onion tops.
