This is an adapted Martin Yan recipe. I used less oil and coated my wok with Pam. This recipe was delicious. He suggests to serve with an Asian Dipping sauce but we thought it was great without.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 stalk lemongrass, trimmed and finely chopped
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice, plus more if needed
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 1/2 pounds split chicken wings
6 ounces rice vermicelli noodles
1 seedless cucumber
1 red Fresno chile pepper, thinly sliced
1 cup fresh basil, mint or a combination

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium high and prepare for indirect grilling. On a charcoal grill, bank the coals to one side; on a gas grill, turn off half the burners. Combine the lemongrass, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, the brown sugar, 1 tablespoon each sesame oil, lime juice and water and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute. Pour into a heatproof bowl; stir in 1 more tablespoon lime juice.
  • Toss the wings in a separate bowl with 3 tablespoons of the sauce and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Place on the cooler side of the grill (indirect heat), cover and cook, turning once, until cooked through but not browned, 15 to 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook and cool the noodles as the label directs. Cut the cucumber into matchsticks. Toss in a colander with a pinch of salt; squeeze to remove the excess liquid. Add to the noodles along with the chile, herbs and remaining 3 tablespoons sesame oil, 2 teaspoons fish sauce and 2 teaspoons lime juice; season with salt and pepper and toss, adding more lime juice to taste.
  • Move the wings to direct heat; cook, turning and brushing with some of the remaining sauce, until crisp, 10 more minutes. Transfer to a bowl and toss with the remaining sauce. Serve with the noodles.

Categories     Chicken     Dinner     Lunch     Noodle     Lemongrass     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

Dipping sauce
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup fish sauce (nam pla or nuoc mam)
1/4 cup distilled white or rice vinegar
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 carrot, shredded on the large holes of a box grater
2 Thai bird or serrano chiles, seeded and minced
Vermicelli and scallion oil
10 ounces thin rice vermicelli
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
6 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
Lemongrass-chicken
1 stalk lemongrass
1 pound ground chicken
1 1/2 tablespoons minced shallots
1 tablespoon fish sauce (nam pla or nuoc mam)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 Thai bird or serrano chile, seeded and minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • 1. To make the dipping sauce, bring 1/2 cup water and the granulated sugar to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Pour into a bowl and let cool. Add the fish sauce, vinegar, garlic, carrot, and chiles and stir well.
  • 2. To prepare the vermicelli, place in a medium bowl and add enough hot tap water to cover. Let stand until the vermicelli is tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold running water. Drain again and return to the bowl. Toss with 1 teaspoon of the vegetable oil.
  • 3. To make the scallion oil, pour the remaining vegetable oil into a medium skillet. Add the garlic and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until softened but not browned, about 2 minutes. Add the scallions and cook, stirring often, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • 4. To make the meatballs, remove and discard the outer layers from the lemongrass to reveal the pale yellow inner stalk. Trim off the bulbous tip of the stalk. Using a very sharp knife, thinly slice the lemongrass into rounds until you reach the very tough upper stalk. Discard the upper stalk. Transfer the sliced lemongrass to a food processor fitted with the metal chopping blade. Pulse about 12 times, until the lemongrass is finely minced. Measure 1 1/2 tablespoons of the minced lemongrass. (The remaining lemongrass can be frozen for up to 3 months.)
  • 5. Combine the minced lemongrass, ground chicken, shallots, fish sauce, cornstarch, chile, garlic, brown sugar, and salt in a large bowl and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 4 hours. Using your wet hands rinsed under cold water, shape the meat mixture into 12 equal meatballs.
  • 6. Prepare a medium-hot fire in an outdoor grill.
  • 7. To grill the meatballs with a basket, lightly oil the molds (a pump oil sprayer works best). Place the meatballs in the basket and close it. Place the basket on the cooking grate and cover. Grill the meatballs until the undersides are lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Flip the basket over and grill until the other sides are lightly browned and the meatballs are cooked through, about 4 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the basket and transfer to a bowl. To grill the meatballs without the basket, lightly oil the cooking grate. Place the meatballs on the grill and cover. Grill until the undersides are lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Flip the meatballs and cook until the other sides are browned and the meatballs are cooked through, about 4 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl.
  • 8. Pour the dipping sauce into 4 ramekins. Divide the rice vermicelli among 4 deep bowls. Top each with 3 meatballs and equal amounts of the scallion oil. Serve with the dipping sauce.

CHICKEN WITH LEMONGRASS



Chicken with Lemongrass image

The lemongrass, really compliments this easy and nutritious recipe. Serve with Asian noodles or steamed white rice.

Provided by - Carla -

Categories     Chicken

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons oil
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 large boneless chicken breasts, sliced
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 stalks lemongrass, smashed
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon curry paste or 1 teaspoon curry powder
1 red chile, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons water
1/2 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons peanuts, chopped
1/4 cup cilantro leaf, chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oil and fry onion with garlic for 1 minute. Add chicken, black pepper, lemon grass, fish sauce, sugar, curry and chili and stir fry for 4 minutes.
  • Add chicken, black pepper, lemon grass, fish sauce, sugar, curry and chili pepper and stir fry 5 minutes.
  • Add water and continue to stir fry an additional 8 to 10 minutes, or until chicken is just about cooked through.
  • Remove smashed Lemongrass.
  • Add the coconut milk and simmer, stirring, until sauce it thickened.
  • Serve over Asian noodles or steamed white rice.
  • Garnish with sprinkled chopped nuts and the freshly chopped cilantro.

Tips:

  • Choose the right lemongrass: Look for lemongrass stalks that are firm and green, with no signs of wilting or browning.
  • Prepare the lemongrass properly: To release the full flavor of lemongrass, bruise the stalks before using them. This can be done by hitting them with a mallet or the back of a knife.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken, make sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more difficult to get a good sear.
  • Be patient when cooking the rice noodles: Rice noodles can take a while to cook, so be patient and don't overcook them. Overcooked rice noodles will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
  • Serve the dish immediately: Lemongrass chicken is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the chicken is still hot and juicy, and the rice noodles are still springy.

Conclusion:

Lemongrass chicken on rice noodles is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal.
