Method

  1. Cut the chicken into strips that are no wider than 1/2 inch.

  2. Place the chicken in a bowl and use your hands to mix it with the curry powder, fish sauce, and salt.

  3. Allow the chicken to marinate at room temperature while you prepare the other ingredients. Alternatively, you can refrigerate it overnight.

  4. Cut the onion in half, peel it, and remove the core. Thinly slice half of the onion and finely dice the remaining half. Set aside the onion slices to be added later.

  5. Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.

  6. Add the diced onions to the hot oil and cook until they become softened, which should take about 3 to 4 minutes.

  7. Stir in the garlic and continue cooking for an additional minute.

  8. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook over medium heat for approximately 5 minutes.

  9. Pour in the water and continue cooking until the chicken is fully cooked and the water has evaporated, which should take about 5 more minutes.

  10. Mix in the sliced onion and tomatoes and cook for about 1 minute longer. The onion slices should remain crisp in the center.

  11. Serve the dish with cilantro sprinkled on top and lime wedges on the side.
