The Thai-style sauce on this recipe brings warmth to the dish with a tangy, salty, barely bitter end. It is a flavorful complement to the earthy greens and tender, lean rooster.
I used thigh meat, however you may substitute rooster breast and make the stir-fry even leaner. To minimize the warmth within the sauce, merely omit one of many chiles or cut back the quantity of sambal oelek soy sauce.
Each sambal oelek (floor contemporary chile paste) and nam pla (fish sauce) might be discovered basically Asian markets or within the worldwide part of many supermarkets.
