Team Makery
1.5 kg boneless chicken thighs, cut into 2 inch pieces
1/2 cup lime juice
6 tablespoons fish sauce
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
8 cloves of garlic
1/2 teaspoon ginger paste
1 onion, peeled and quartered
4 stalks lemongrass, roughly chopped
Lime wedges, for garnish
Add the lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, oil, soy sauce, garlic, lemongrass, and onions to a blender or food processor, and blend till you get a smooth paste.
Toss the chicken well with the marinade, till well coated. Let it sit for a minimum of 10 minutes, but 30-45 minutes is ideal.
Add a teaspoon of cooking oil in a frying pan. Let it get hot, then add the chicken in batches, turning evenly to ensure it cooks on all sides, for around 7-10 minutes.
Serve hot with lime wedges and rice.
