Soak Thai shallots in hot water to make peeling easier.

Peel the shallots after soaking and slice them.

Roughly chop the garlic.

Heat a wok over medium heat.

Add the sliced shallots and chopped garlic to the wok and cook until the garlic starts to turn color.

Increase the heat to high and add the minced chicken to the wok.

Sear the minced chicken until it starts to brown and separate, breaking up any clumps.

Add the chopped chilies to the chicken in the wok.

Pour the sauce over the chicken and cook until the sauce evaporates and is absorbed by the meat.
