IMG_1616  Ingredients for cooking Vietnamese Lemongrass chicken

This is the Vietnamese Lemongrass Chicken (Ga Xao Sa ) ingredients that I prepared for my reunion dinner 2012.
There are many different version of the dish.
Some don't add in onion.
Some have no curry powder.
But I have decided to learn from  Rasamalaysia's Version.


IMG_1620 Vietnamese Lemongrass Chicken, 越式香茅鸡

Vietnamese Lemongrass Chicken:
Ingredients of Vietnamese lemongrass paste:
6 stalks of lemongrass ( even use the upper part of lemongrass to make thicker paste as its upper part still has the aroma of lemongrass)
1 clove of garlic
4 medium size onions
20-25 pieces dried chilli
50 ml water

1 tbsp curry powder( * not too much of curry powder or it will become chicken curry paste)
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp fish sauce

2 extra stalks of lemongrass cut into the length of 4 cm.

Method:
1. Marinate chicken with fish sauce + 1 tbsp sugar - 2 hours before cooking.
