Lemongrass Chicken Marinade Recipes

Steps:

• Add lemongrass, ginger, garlic, and shallots through feed tube of a food processor with motor running. Process until very finely chopped. Add sugar, mirin, and fish sauce; process until pureed, scraping sides as needed. With motor running, slowly add oil; process until incorporated.

Steps:

• Mix canola oil, lemongrass, lemon juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and fish sauce together in a mixing bowl until the sugar is dissolved; add chicken and turn to coat in the marinade.
• Marinate chicken in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to 1 hour.
• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove chicken thighs from the marinade and shake to remove excess marinade. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Grill chicken until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 3 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:

• Mix chicken, fish sauce, and honey together in a bowl; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat; swirl in oil. Add red bell peppers, lemongrass, ginger, and garlic; cook until red bell pepper strips tender, about 5 minutes. Add chicken mixture; saute until chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes.
• Stir green onions, chicken broth, sugar, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper into the wok. Simmer, uncovered, until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• With a pestle & mortar crush together the lemongrass, garlic, ginger and chili together into a paste, then stir in the other ingredients. A mini-food chopper can be used instead or simply mince all ingredients very well by hand and combine in a small bowl. Pour marinade over the chicken, stirring well to coat the meat. Cover and set in the refrigerator to marinate at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
• To prepare the chicken, cut it 7 cm by 7 cms and cut several small incisions across the chicken to soak up the marinade.
• Combine marinade and meat (or vegetables) then toss.
• You can either place it in a zip lock bag or just use a bowl with cling wrap.
• Refrigerate for about 2 hours, turning occasionally. (I marinated mine overnight).
• Remove meat from the marinade and grill until cooked and brown. Discard leftover marinade (if there are any of the ingredients left on the meat or vegetables as it may taste bitter if you decide to leave them on).
• Traditionally it's grilled on an outdoor grill so that the coals are white-hot but I used our barbeque.
• Serve on a bed of lettuce with Vietnamese fish sauce to dip. Side dish of rice or salad.

Steps:

• Wash and dry the chicken and trim off any fat. Cut the chicken breast across the grain on the diagonal into 1/8-inch strips.
• Cut these strips into 2-inch pieces.
• Combine the chicken, honey, and 1 tablespoon fish sauce in a bowl and stir to mix.
• Let marinate for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Trim the green leaves and root end off the lemongrass stalk and strip off the outside leaves.
• What remains will be a greenish crea m-colored core 4 to 5 inches long and 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
• Mince the core finely: You'll need about 2 tablespoons.
• Just before serving, heat a wok (preferably nonstick) over high heat and swirl in the oil.
• Add the garlic and lemongrass and stir-fry until fragrant but not brown, about 15 seconds.
• Add the chicken and stir-fry until the pieces turn white, about 1 minute. Move the chicken to the sides of the wok and add the o nion to the center.
• Stir-fry until the onion loses its rawness, about 1 minute. Mix the chicken back in the center of the wok, add the remaining fish sauce, continue stir-frying until the chicken is cooked, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Correct the seasoning, adding honey or fish sauce to taste. The dish should be a little sweet and salty.
• Sprinkle the chicken with the cilantro, if desired, and serve at once.

Steps:

• Process lemon grass, garlic and chili sauce until it turns into a fine paste.
• Combine paste and all other ingredients and mix well.
• Marinade is ready to use after sitting for about 1 minutes.
• Recipe yields enough marinade for 1-2 pounds of meat.
• You can save the tops of the lemon grass to season soups and stocks or you can steep it with your tea to make lemon tea.
• Simply put in zip-lock bag and freeze until needed.
