Keto Vietnamese Lemongrass Chicken
How to Make It
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the fish sauce and water.
Step 2
Heat a wok over high heat, until the surface of the wok looks matte and a drop of water flicked into the wok evaporates on contact. Add oil and heat until shimmering, then add diced chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned and halfway cooked through.
Step 3
Pour off all oil except 2 tablespoons, leaving chicken in the wok. Add in sliced red onion and cook for 2 minutes.
Step 4
Add garlic, lemongrass, chopped dried chilies and jalapeno. Cook for 30 seconds. Add wine to deglaze the wok, stirring to release the browned bits at the bottom. Cook for another 5 minutes until it all is caramelized.
Step 5
Add the fish sauce mixture and scallions and cook for 1-2 more minutes until the chicken is cooked through scraping browned bits from bottom of pan. Serve hot!
