Lemongrass Chicken Lettuce Cups
  1. Blend the marinade ingredients into a thick paste and rub all over the chicken thighs. Marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes or overnight if time allows.

  2. Fry spring onion and ginger in sesame oil for 1 minute. Add washed rice, a pinch of salt and water, then cook until light, fluffy, and fragrant with the lid ajar.

  3. Julienne cucumbers and toss with spring onions, coriander, salt, sugar and rice wine vinegar. Chill to let the flavours develop.

  4. Mix together all the Nước Chấm ingredients.

  5. Heat neutral oil in a pan and cook chicken skin-side down, pressing firmly to get golden, crispy, charred edges. Flip and cook until juicy and cooked through.

  6. Serve the chicken with ginger rice, pickled cucumbers, Nước Chấm, chives, fried shallots and crisp lettuce cups.
