Ingredients
Chicken
- 1 pound chicken thighs boneless and skinless
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon sake or other dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- 1 tablespoon allulose
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper fresh ground, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon avocado oil
Salad
- 1/2 English cucumber sliced thin
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/8 teaspoon stevia glycerite or 2 tablespoons allulose
- 6 ounces bean sprouts
- 1/4 cup mint leaves fresh
- 2 green onions sliced thin
Instructions
- Combine all chicken ingredients except oil in a large bowl and stir to coat evenly. Set aside to marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to overnight to tenderize.
- Season the cucumber with a generous pinch of salt and set in a strainer in the sink to drain for 15 minutes. Once drained, stir together all the salad ingredients, adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.
- After the chicken has been tenderized, heat a large nonstick pan over medium high heat. When hot, add the chicken and cook on medium-high heat until little to no liquid remains, about 15 minutes total, stirring often. Cook without stirring for the last few minutes to get a slight char on the pieces once the liquid is evaporated. Serve with the salad, and more green onions sprinkled over top, if desired.
