Lemongrass Chicken (Dinner)

I let it simmer in the sauce for a few minutes at the end. Well received.

Used 1.5 lbs of chicken thighs, that was fine as well. Halved the fish sauce, and added soy sauce to replace it.

Lemongrass Chicken (Dinner)

Turned out really well. Is this the same recipe I made before, from Vietnamese Home Cooking? There were parts I just didn't remember. Maybe I interpreted it differently the last time?

I think it was better this time. I halved the fish sauce (replacing it with an extra tbsp of water). Also: when the recipe says turn the heat down to medium-high, at least on my stove that's not halfway between high and medium. Maybe 1/3 down from high, but you still want your stove going pretty hard. Lemongrass chicken in a wok

Lemongrass Chicken (Dinner)

From Vietnamese Home Cooking, page 138.

Turned out well, good success with the family. This was a bunch of fun to make, actually. I hadn't really done too much from this cookbook, but it was great to pull my wok out again and reseason that a bit.
