A delicious and flavorful ground chicken dish, bursting with umami and a delightful balance of savory, spicy, and sweet notes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chili paste or flakes
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

Instructions

  1. Prep the ingredients: Mince the garlic and ginger, chop the green onions, and measure the sauces.
  2. Marinate the chicken: Mix the ground chicken with soy sauce, hoisin sauce, chili paste, ginger, and garlic in a bowl. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to elevate the flavors.
  3. Heat the skillet: In a large skillet over medium heat, add vegetable oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken.
