Ingredients | Malaysian Mee Goreng Noodles

6 green onions, white parts only, chopped

1 (2 inch) piece peeled fresh ginger

4 cloves peeled garlic

3 tablespoons grapeseed oil

8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs

salt to taste

3 tablespoons hot curry powder

1 tablespoon red curry paste

1 ½ teaspoons garam masala

1 ½ teaspoons Chinese five-spice powder

1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk

1 tablespoon fish sauce

1 ½ teaspoons white sugar, divided

1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (Optional)

Directions

Place green onions, ginger, and garlic in a food processor; puree until smooth.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken thighs with salt and cook, skin-side down, until browned, about 10 minutes per side. Remove from skillet.

Scrape ginger puree into the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, 2 to 3 minutes. Add curry powder, red curry paste, garam masala, and Chinese five-spice powder; cook and stir until fragrant. Pour in coconut milk and stir to loosen up the bits from the bottom of the skillet. Add fish sauce and half the sugar. Taste; adjust salt and sugar, and stir in sriracha sauce.

Return chicken thighs to the skillet, reduce heat, and simmer until flavors are combined, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Substitute coconut oil for the grapeseed oil if preferred.
