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.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Choose the right lemongrass: Look for lemongrass stalks that are fresh, green, and have a strong citrusy scent. Avoid stalks that are brown or wilted.
  • Prep the lemongrass properly: To prepare lemongrass, remove the tough outer leaves and cut the stalk into 2-3 inch pieces. You can then bruise the lemongrass with a knife or mortar and pestle to release its flavor.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of lemongrass, garlic, ginger, and soy sauce will help to infuse it with flavor. You can marinate the chicken for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly: Make sure the chicken is cooked through before serving. You can check this by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The internal temperature should read 165°F (74°C).
  • Serve with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro, basil, and mint add a bright, refreshing flavor to lemongrass chicken. Serve the chicken with a generous helping of fresh herbs.

Conclusion:

Lemongrass chicken with vermicelli is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of lemongrass, garlic, ginger, and soy sauce creates a flavorful marinade that infuses the chicken with flavor. The vermicelli noodles add a chewy texture and help to soak up the delicious sauce. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
