Categories     Chicken     Stir-Fry

Yield 6 SERVINGS

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, fat trimmed, meat cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons canola oil
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 plump stalks of lemongrass, tender white inner bulb only, minced
1 medium red onion, quartered lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 cup Chinese cooking wine, sake, or water
1/2 cup Vietnamese Stir-fry Sauce
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon Asian chile paste
4 large scallions, cut into 1/2-inch lengths
5 small dried red chiles
1 large jalapeno, seeded and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, toss the chicken pieces with 2 tablespoons of the canola oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons of kosher salt and 3/4 teaspoon of pepper. In a large skillet or a wok, heat 2 tablespoons of the canola oil until small puffs of smoke begin to appear. Add half of the chicken and stir-fry over high heat until browned in spots, about 3 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in the skillet. Add the lemongrass, onion and garlic and cook over high heat, stirring, until fragrant, 2 minutes. Add the wine and cook until slightly reduced, about 1 minute. Add the Vietnamese Stir-fry Sauce, oyster sauce, chile paste, scallions, dried chiles and jalapeno; bring to a boil. Add the chicken to the sauce and simmer until heated through, then serve. SERVE WITH: Steamed jasmine rice.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of lemongrass. But I'm so glad I did! The lemongrass and ginger were perfectly balanced and the chicken was so tender and juicy. I will definitely be making this again.
