Hello friends, welcome back to my channel.
My today's dish is a very famous Vietnamese dish known
as lemongrass chicken. As the name suggests,
this dish is full of the flavors of lemongrass very
aromatic dish and one of the most flavorful Asian dishes
rather Asian chicken dishes.
So let's have a look into that ingredient list now.
My first ingredient is chicken.
And today I'm using chicken thigh pieces around a kilo,
which I have chopped into small cubes like this. Next
I have two small onions which are sliced into, not
very thin not very thick slices. Next I have chilies. I’m using
two red chillies over here and these are the chillies
which I am using.
This chillies are mild and gives a very nice flavor
to your dish.
But if you can't find this chillies you can go
in for the regular chilies and reduce the quantity because
this is a very mild chilies and the regular ones,
are
Hot so keep that in mind. 1 whole garlic which
I have finely chopped here.
I have around three tablespoons of lemon grass and I'll
show you how you need to chop it so I'll
start off by trimming the edges for that.
I'm going to take off around a centimeter of
the stick and I'm going to remove the outer layer and
green portion.
I'll be also emitting it, you can use this leftover
pieces for your soup or to prepare vegetable stock. You
can deep freeze them and I'm going to chop it
into thin slices like this.
And I'm going to finely chop it again like this.
Next I have two tablespoons of lime juice, 2 tablespoons
of sugar.
I need 250 ml of coconut water.
If you can find fresh.
That's the best to use.
Otherwise you can go in for the packets like this
3 tablespoons of fish sauce of which one I'm going
to marinate the chicken with and the rest.
I'll be using it in the sauce. 1 tablespoon of
soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of corn flour.
And some salt and pepper to taste of course, so
we start off by marinating our chicken.
Then I'm going to add in the lime juice, a
tablespoon of the lemon chopped lemongrass.
A tablespoon of fish sauce, a tablespoon of soy sauce
and today I am using the light soy sauce and
some salt.
and freshly crushed pepper.
Now I'm going to mix all the ingredients well with
my chicken pieces.
And we are going to marinate this for 10 minutes, after
which we are going to fry the chicken pieces.
So while my chicken is marinating, I'm going to start
off by preparing the sauce for the chicken. For that
I'm going to add in two tablespoons of the fish
sauce, next
I'll add in the corn flour.
and 1 tablespoon of lime juice
And a tablespoon of soy sauce mix it well and
our sauce for lemongrass chicken is ready.
So I heated up my wok and to it.
I'm going to add in around.
two tablespoons of white oil.
and to it I am going to add in the chicken chicken pieces. We need to cook the chicken pieces for
5 to 6 minutes till it turns slightly brownish in
colour or it is almost 80% done.
And you need to do this on high Flame.
It's been 8 minutes now and my chicken is almost cooked.
And the water it hade released is also drying
up. I’ll cook this for another two minutes.
And then I'm going to remove the chicken. Its been 2
minutes now and my chicken is ready. We will
remove it from heat now.
After removing the chicken, in the same pan, I'll add
in another teaspoon of white oil and add in the
chopped onions.
Give it a quick mix. Stir the onions and cook
them for a minute.
It's been a minute now and I'll add in the
chopped garlic, along with the chillies, chopped lemongrass. Mix all the ingredients and cook
for another minute.
And after a minute I’ll add in the prepared sauce.
And finally, I'll add in the coconut water.
I’ll allow the sauce to come to a boil.
As you can see the sauce
has already started boiling, it hardly took me a minute or
two and next,
I'm going to add in the chicken pieces to it.
Mix it along with the sauce. I will allow it to cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
My chicken has been cooking for another three minutes and
it is ready.
So we are going to serve it now.

crunchy cucumbers with a little bit of coriander leaves on
