- 1 red chili (thinly sliced)
- 1 lime (cut into four wedges)
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- Half a teaspoon of cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of water
- 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of ground pepper
Step-by-step preparation
1. Remove and clean the internal organs of the chicken. Then wipe it dry with a clean cloth.
2. In a bowl, combine the ginger, garlic, coriander, ground pepper, and fish sauce, and mix well. Then rub the chicken thoroughly with the sauce prepared earlier.
Afterward, marinate it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
3. Once the chicken has finished marinating, place about 2 stalks of lemongrass on a heat-resistant plate, and place the chicken on top of the lemongrass.
Then, you can either steam the chicken in the oven for about 45 minutes or steam it in a pot filled with water.
4. Once the chicken is fully cooked through steaming, transfer it to another plate.
Next, to make the sauce, pour the liquid collected from steaming the chicken into a pan. Heat the pan, then add a little salt, ground pepper, and fish sauce. Add the cornstarch mixture and water, and stir until it comes to a boil.
Once the sauce has thickened, pour it over the chicken. Then, garnish with fresh green chili, coriander, and lime wedges, and you will have a delicious chicken curry dish ready to serve.
