Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb chicken (cut into bit-sized pieces)
1 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
⅓ tsp MSG or chicken bouillon (optional)
4 tbsp neutral cooking oil
3 tbsp shallots (minced)
1 tbsp garlic (minced)
4-5 tbsp lemongrass (minced)
2 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp sambal
½ c coconut juice (or lemon-lime soda, or water)
½ medium onion cut into slivers (optional)
1 stalk green onion cut into 2 inch pieces (optional)

Steps:

  • Marinade: Combine chicken and marinade ingredients, and let it sit to marinate for 15 minutes.
  • Mince aromatics: Clean the lemongrass, remove the outer layers of rough leaves and find the yellow leaves inside. Slice the lemongrass roots into ⅛" slices first, then add to a food processor to finely mince and set aside. Mince/process the garlic then set aside. Mince/process shallots and set aside.
  • Make the chile sauce: Combine fish sauce, sambal, and coconut juice and mix to combine.
  • Pat dry your chicken, cut into bite size pieces.
  • In a pan over medium-high heat, add four tbsp of oil and add the shallots and saute until light brown. Add the garlic and saute until light brown. Add lemongrass and stir until fragrant. Add the chicken and brown it a little.
  • Lower to medium heat, add the Chile Sauce. Stir to mix, taste and adjust as necessary, then cover with a lid. After about five minutes, stir a bit, retaste and reseason if necessary, add more cooking time if needed.
  • Add the garnish about 1-2 minutes before the chicken finishes cooking to soften a bit. The dish is done once the chicken reaches an internal temp of 165 °F, or until the center of the chicken is no longer pink.
  • Serve with a side of rice.

Provided by Ali

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup lime juice, plus extra lime wedges for serving
3 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons maple syrup (or brown sugar)
2 tablespoons avocado oil (or any neutral-flavored oil)
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
4 small garlic cloves
2 stalks lemongrass, tender white parts only, roughly chopped (see below)
1 medium shallot, peeled and halved (or half of a small red onion)
2 pounds boneless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Combine the lime juice, fish sauce, maple syrup, oil, soy sauce, black pepper, garlic, lemongrass and shallot in a blender or food processor. Puree until smooth.
  • Combine the chicken and marinade in a large bowl. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. (If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15 minutes before using.) Thread the chicken evenly onto the skewers.
  • Once the grill is hot, place the chicken kabobs evenly on the grill. Cook for 10-14 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (no longer pink on the inside).
  • Transfer the kabobs to a clean plate, and loosely tent with aluminum foil. Let the chicken rest for at least 5-10 minutes.
  • Then serve warm while the chicken is hot and juicy, sprinkled with an extra squeeze of fresh lime juice (plus some thinly-sliced green onions) if desired. Or, refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

CHICKEN IN LEMONGRASS COCONUT BROTH



Chicken in Lemongrass Coconut Broth image

I made this soup after trying it at a Thai noodle house in my area. I just kept playing around with ingredients until I got something similar. I have the seasonings adjusted to my liking, however there is an adjustment guide in the footnotes if you would like a slightly different flavor. This soup is also good with rice or pasta, but ramen seems to be the favorite. You can use any flavor of ramen noodles.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will make the cooking process go much smoother.
  • Choose the Right Lemongrass: Use fresh lemongrass for the best flavor. Look for lemongrass stalks that are light green and plump, with no brown spots.
  • Pound the Lemongrass: Pounding the lemongrass helps to release its flavor. You can use a mortar and pestle or the back of a spoon to do this.
  • Use a Heavy Pot: A heavy pot will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the chicken from burning.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken is best when it is cooked through but still juicy. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.

Conclusion:

This stewed spicy chicken with lemongrass and lime is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is cooked in a flavorful broth made with lemongrass, lime, and spices, and it is served over rice. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
