Authentic Thai recipe for Garlic Chives with Sliced Chicken

ผัดดอกกุ้ยช่ายใส่ไก่ (Pad Dok Mai Gui Chai)

Sometimes fewer ingredients is just better. That's the case with this delicious and authentic Thai stir fry made with soft and juicy chicken breast and fresh green flowering garlic chives. The Chinese chives, known in Thailand as Dok Mai Gui Chai, can be combined with chicken, pork, or shrimp using this recipe, but are very flavorful when just cooked alone with garlic, fish sauce, and a little sugar. Although fish sauce is what give this dish its authentic Thai flavor, the chives make a nice vegetarian dish by substituting soy sauce and adding a little tofu.
