Ingredients:
- Chicken meat: 500g
- Lemongrass: 5 stalks
- Ginger: 50g
- Horn peppers: 3 pieces
- Dried shallots, garlic
- Coconut cream
- Seasonings: broth cubes, fish sauce, sugar, MSG, cooking oil
For a delicious and tender stir-fried lemongrass chicken, choose native or free-range chicken. If possible, use fighting cock for the best flavor.
Recipe for Lemongrass Chili Chicken:
Step 1:
- Prepare the chicken by washing it with ginger-infused water to make it firmer and more flavorful. Then cut it into bite-sized pieces.
- For a more elaborate preparation, you can separate the meat and bones. The bones can be used for making soup, while the meat will be used for stir-frying with lemongrass and chili.
- Finely chop dried shallots and peeled garlic, set aside.
- Peel the outer layer of lemongrass, wash thoroughly, then thinly slice.
- Slit the chili peppers lengthwise, remove the seeds. Then finely chop one pepper, thinly slice the remaining two peppers.
- Place chicken, chopped shallots and garlic, lemongrass, finely chopped chili, broth cubes, fish sauce, MSG, sugar, and cooking oil in a large bowl, mix well by hand to let the chicken absorb the seasonings. Then add a little cooking oil and mix evenly. Marinate for 30 minutes.
Step 2:
- Heat cooking oil in a pan. Once hot, add sliced shallots, lemongrass, and chili, sauté until fragrant.
- Add the chicken to the pan, stir quickly over high heat until the chicken firms up.
- When the chicken is almost cooked, add 2 tablespoons of coconut cream to the pan, simmer over low heat until the coconut cream thickens and coats the chicken. Repeat this process with another 2 tablespoons of coconut cream. After two rounds of coconut cream, you will feel the richness of the chicken with the intense aroma of lemongrass and chili.
Finally, serve the cooked chicken on a plate and enjoy it while it's still hot with white rice.
Finished Product Requirements: The cooked chicken should turn into a beautiful golden color, with crispy outer skin, tender and fragrant meat inside, and rich flavors infused with the scent of lemongrass and chili.
Chicken meat contains many beneficial nutrients for health. Besides, it is rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, C, E, acids, calcium, phosphorus, and iron, which help the body absorb and digest easily.
