In a small bowl, combine the dark soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, turmeric, and water. Stir until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced red onion and bruised lemongrass. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes, until the onion begins to soften and the lemongrass becomes fragrant.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds, taking care not to burn the garlic.
Add the shredded chicken and toss well with the aromatics. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes, until the chicken is evenly heated.
Pour in the prepared soy sauce mixture. Toss continuously and cook for 3–5 minutes, until the sauce reduces slightly and thoroughly coats the chicken.
Taste and add the pinch of salt only if needed, as the dark soy sauce is already salty.
Remove the large bruised lemongrass pieces before serving. Serve the stir-fry hot.
