VIETNAMESE CHICKEN

I got this recipe from a family friend, but it's a popular vietnamese dish. I try to make this for dinner every once in awhile and I always make more sauce because it goes really well with the vegetables. If you don't want to make more sauce, maggi (a type of soy sauce) goes really well with the chicken and rice.

  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of fish sauce, garlic, ginger, and lemongrass adds flavor and helps tenderize the meat.

  • Don't overcrowd the steamer: Make sure there is enough space between the chicken pieces so that they can cook evenly.
  • Steam the chicken until cooked through: The chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
