Directions

  1. Whisk the fish sauce and sugar till the sugar is completely dissolved. Stir in 1 Tbsp. oil, the lemongrass, and garlic, then add in the chicken and mix to coat the pcs proportionately. Allow to marinate, refrigerated, for 2 hrs.
  2. Heat the remaining oil in a wok or possibly nonstick pan over high heat. Cook the chicken with the chili till the chicken is cooked through and crisp at the edges, 5 to 7 min per side. Serve over rice, with Scallion Oil and Nuoc Cham on the side.
  3. Variation: Ga xao xa can also be made with chicken breast. Thinly slice 1 lb. breast meat against the grain. Then marinate it as in step 1, reducing the time to 30 min. In step 2, stir-fry till chicken is cooked through, about 5 min total.
  4. This recipe yields 4 servings.
