About Cha Knyey
Sabrina’s cha knyey is a Cambodian home dish of chicken thighs stir-fried with thinly cut fresh ginger. She recalls her mother making the chicken-and-ginger combination frequently during her childhood.
Oyster sauce, dark soy sauce and brown sugar form the marinade with black pepper and salt. Garlic and yellow onion join the chicken in the wok, while ginger gives the dish its dominant aromatic flavour.
Sliced scallions finish the chicken in its serving bowl. The thin chicken pieces and ginger strips are accompanied by freshly steamed rice.
