Ingredients食材

  • Boneless skinless chicken thighs去骨去皮鸡腿肉12 oz盎司
  • Fresh lemongrass, tender lower stalk鲜香茅嫩下段2 stalks根
  • Shallot红葱头1
  • Garlic大蒜3 cloves瓣
  • Fresh Thai chili; reduce seeds for milder heat鲜泰椒(去籽可减辣)0.5
  • Fish sauce鱼露2 tsp小勺
  • Sugar白糖1 tsp小勺
  • Ground black pepper黑胡椒粉0.125 tsp小勺
  • Neutral oil (canola or vegetable)中性油(菜籽或植物油)1 tbsp大勺
  • Scallion葱1

Method做法

  1. Pour the measured oil into the skillet and warm it. Add the shallot, lemongrass, garlic, and chili and stir, until fragrant but not brown-black.

    锅里倒量好的油烧热,下葱头、香茅、蒜和辣椒翻炒,出香而不焦黑。

    Medium · 2–3 min中火 · 2–3分钟

    The lemongrass smells citrusy and looks softened.香茅散清香且变软。

    Common mistake & quick fix容易错在哪,怎么补救

    If the pan dries or browns too quickly, lower the heat and add a small splash of water.锅干或上色太快就调小火,加少量水。

  2. Spread the chicken in a single layer in the skillet and cook, turning once. If you're cooking more, do it in batches so the pan isn't crowded — the chicken is only partly cooked here, so don't taste it yet.

    鸡肉单层铺进锅里煎,中途翻一次面。量多就分批煎,别把锅挤满;这会儿鸡肉还没熟,先别尝。

    Medium · 4 min中火 · 4分钟

    The chicken loses its raw look on the outside.鸡肉表面变色。

    Common mistake & quick fix容易错在哪,怎么补救

    If browned outside but below 165°F (74°C) inside, lower the heat, cover briefly and recheck with a clean food thermometer.外面上色而里面未到165°F (74°C)时,调小火稍盖锅,再用干净食品温度计测温。

  3. Add the fish sauce, sugar, pepper, and 2 tbsp drinking water. Cover and cook, turning the pieces, until the thickest part reads 165°F (74°C) on a food thermometer — give it more time if it's not there yet.

    加鱼露、糖、胡椒和2大匙水,盖上盖煮,中间翻动鸡块,最厚的地方用食物温度计测到165°F (74°C)就行,没到就再煮一会儿。

    Medium-low · 5–7 min中小火 · 5–7分钟

    The chicken is cooked through, not just browned.鸡肉熟透,不只表面上色。

    Common mistake & quick fix容易错在哪,怎么补救

    If browned outside but below 165°F (74°C) inside, lower the heat, cover briefly and recheck with a clean food thermometer.外面上色而里面未到165°F (74°C)时,调小火稍盖锅,再用干净食品温度计测温。

  4. Take off the lid and toss until the sauce lightly coats the chicken. Stir in the scallion, turn off the heat, and serve with vegetables and rice if you like — don't let the sugary sauce cook down into a burnt, hard crust.

    揭盖翻炒,让薄薄一层酱汁裹住鸡肉。拌进葱,关火,想配米饭和蔬菜就另备——别把带糖的汁炒成焦黑的硬壳。

    Medium · 1–2 min中火 · 1–2分钟

    A light coating, not burned sticky candy.薄汁不焦成硬糖。

    Leftovers: into the fridge within 2 hours (1 hour on a hot 90°F+ day), eat within 3 days, and reheat to 165°F (74°C).吃不完的2小时内放冰箱(天热超90°F就1小时内),3天内吃完,回热要热到165°F (74°C)。

Know your ingredients认识食材

Ingredients explained食材讲解

  • Fresh lemongrass, tender lower stalk鲜香茅嫩下段

    Citrusy stalk for soups and marinades. Pick firm, pale stalks; use the bottom 4 in, smash before simmering or mince very fine.柠檬香的茎,用于汤和腌料。挑硬挺浅色的;只用下部约10厘米,炖前拍裂或剁极细。

  • Shallot红葱头

    Small, sweet onion for sauces and dressings; milder than onion. Pick firm and dry.红葱头,小而甜,适合酱汁和沙拉汁,比洋葱温和。挑硬实干爽的。

  • Garlic大蒜

    Crush and rest 10 min before heating to keep more allicin. Avoid sprouted cloves.拍碎静置10分钟再加热,保留更多大蒜素。发芽的别用。

  • Fish sauce鱼露

    Salty umami backbone of Thai and Vietnamese food. Look for just anchovy + salt (e.g. Red Boat, Three Crabs); a little goes far.泰越菜的咸鲜灵魂。选配料只有鳀鱼和盐的(如Red Boat、三蟹牌);少量即可。

  • Sugar白糖

    A little sugar balances fish sauce, lime and chili — key to Vietnamese flavor.少量糖平衡鱼露、青柠和辣椒——越南味道的关键。

  • Ground black pepper黑胡椒粉

    Freshly ground black pepper tastes far brighter than pre-ground; it's the key to Vietnamese shaking beef.现磨黑胡椒比预磨的香得多,是越南牛肉粒的关键。

  • Scallions葱

    Whites for cooking, greens for garnish. Regrow roots in a glass of water.葱白下锅,葱绿点缀。根泡水能再长。

Cookware厨具

  • Wide skillet, spatula, bowls, knife, board, measuring tools and food thermometer宽平底锅、铲、碗、刀、砧板、量具及食品温度计

Make it a balanced meal营养搭配建议

Add a vegetable side and a moderate portion of rice; linked recipes are optional extras with separate ingredients.配蔬菜和适量米饭;链接菜可选另做,食材另备。

Why it works: aim for half the plate vegetables, a quarter protein, a quarter whole grains or starch — then let one rich dish be the star.搭配思路:半盘蔬菜、四分之一蛋白、四分之一主食;一桌里只让一道浓郁的菜当主角。
