Prepare the ingredients
The first step, you peel the garlic and shallots, then finely chop them.
Clean the coriander, then cut it into thin strands and divide it into 2 parts (1 part for the sauce, the other part for garnish when the dish is finished).
Wash the chicken thighs, make a few cuts on the thigh to allow the seasoning to penetrate the meat and fry them quickly.

Make the sauce
Next, add 2 tablespoons of chili soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, and 100 ml of water into a bowl and stir well to create a mixture.
After you have the blended sauce mixture, add 1/2 of the previously cut coriander strands in.

Fry the chicken
You take the prepared chicken thighs and coat them with crispy flour. In the meantime, place a pan on the stove, add 200ml of oil, and wait for the oil to heat up. When the chicken thighs are evenly coated with flour, add the chicken to fry in the hot oil over medium heat.
Once one side of the chicken thigh is golden, turn it to fry the other side. Fry until the chicken thighs are golden and crispy, then remove them to drain the oil.

Cook the sauce
Heat a pan on the stove, add 2 tablespoons of oil to sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant. Then, add the previously mixed sauce into the pan and cook for 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, if the sauce mixture starts to thicken, add 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice and stir well.
