Thai Ginger Chicken [kai pad king]

An easy and tasty Thai chicken dish.   Very appetising with rice.  The gravy is slightly salty from the fish sauce and the sweetness is from the yellow onions.  Overall, the ingredients blend well with each other.  It's an easy dish to prepare and serve as a One Dish Meal with steaming hot rice.

This dish was cooked at my MIL's place and the wok pan belongs to my hubby's nephew.   Look at the condition - this wok is not 'loved' by its' owner, hahaha!  I bought a 'wok brush' for him.  Hopefully the wok is going to have a clean look soon.
