Thai Cuisine: Stir-fried Chicken with Lemongrass and Chilli and Lemon Leaf, the recipe.

This is a dish my friend Sao and I ate together, she cooked it Thai style and therefore made it quite spicy and salty. I hope you like this dish too and can follow the instructions to make it at home. The meal consisted of chicken curry (which I wrote you the ricetta), stir-fried chicken, Mắm chưng (Vietnamese meatloaf which I will tell you about another time) and rice.

Ingredients

– 1/2 chicken (we bought chicken because Asians like to eat rather tough meat but you can use a more common chicken if you want);
– 5 stalks of lemongrass, finely chopped;
– 7 chili peppers, finely chopped;
– Onions, garlic: finely chopped;
– Lemon leaves;
– Olive oil;
– Fish sauce, monosodium glutamate, seasoning powder, sugar and pepper.

Preparation

The hen is very tough, so after washing it, boil it for 30-45 minutes until the meat is softer, then cut it into bite-sized pieces and marinate some seasonings: 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, a little pepper, a little chopped lemongrass, chopped onion and garlic. Marinate for 20 minutes.

Next, put 3 tablespoons of olive oil in the pan, heat the oil and fry some onion and garlic.

Then add the lemongrass and chili to stir fry until fragrant. Then add the chicken and stir fry until the meat is firm and browned, then add the seasoning: 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, 1/3 teaspoon of seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of MSG, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and add a little water.
Continue to cook on low heat until the chicken is the consistency you like.

When the chicken pieces are ready, remove them from the pan and drain them and sauté them in a pan for 1-2 minutes, adding the lemon leaves and a little pepper to make it fragrant.

At this point the chicken, sautéed with lemongrass and chilli pepper is ready to be served and, above all, enjoyed!
