Sauteed Chicken and Watercress

Sauteed Chicken with Watercress

1. Blanch watercress in boiling water and drain them.

2. Over medium heat in a pan, fry some garlic, shallots, and ginger. Don't let garlic burn!

3. Add chicken pieces (I used chicken thighs). Mix it around a bit. Add seasonings- salt, sugar, pepper, fish sauce or soy sauce, and poultry seasoning if you like. Adjust to taste. Cook until they brown up.

4. Add in watercress and stir to incorporate chicken flavor. Add more fish sauce if needed. Serve with rice.

*Note: I like to blanch the watercress first because it wouldn't get as tough if you're to let it wilt down with the chicken in the pan. Thinly sliced beef with watercress is also good, just be careful to cook the beef quickly and not let it get tough.
