Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 small white onion (finely sliced into half moon)
  • 2 thumb size ginger (peeled and finely sliced into sticks)
  • 1 1/2 pound chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup fish sauce
  • 2 small zuchinni (chopped into bite size chunks)
  • 2 small yellow squash (chopped into bite size chunks)
  • 2 baby bok choy (sliced half lengthwise)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, add oil, onions and ginger and sautee for 3-5 minutes, until onions are translucent. Make sure onion and ginger cover the bottom of the pot.
  2. Place chicken thighs on top and add fish sauce – do not stir.
  3. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.

  5. Add chopped zucchni and yellow squash. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, until zucchini is tender.
  6. Add sliced bok choy, cover and cook for 3-5, until tender.
  7. The chicken is ready to eat once the internal temperature reaches 180º.
  8. Serve chicken and vegetables over a scoop of white rice and pour about a cup of the broth.

Notes

For an added kick use a small bowl to mix a tablespoon of fish sauce and a squeeze of lemon. Sprinkle over the dish, a bite at a time.
