Vietnamese Lemongrass Chicken - Marion's Kitchen

[@shannonrobinson262]

Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, Indian, Spanish, Italian, Mexican, Caribbean, African, all the amazing cuisines of the world. We are so lucky to live in this era where we can enjoy trying most of it.

Marion, I live alone in London away from my family in the US, and through the lockdown, I've tried a few of your recipes, with each one being an absolute hit. I thought I hit the pinnacle whenI made your chicken piccata, but holy hell on fire, this dish was the best thing I have ever made. Like seriously, better than a take out / restaurant dish. At the start I almost wrote my meal off because the lemongrass I bought was very dry and I accidentally bought bone-in-skin-on chicken thighs (took ages to cut the meat away from the bone!) but I followed your steps to a tee and exactly as you said, by magic, I had this delicious, caramel-y chicken dish. I'm literally going to make my family taste this blindfolded next time I'm home and ask them to guess which restaurant it came from, only to reveal I made it. It is a 1,000 out of 10. Thank you!!

[@Marionskitchen]

Aww thanks so much for sharing your feedback with us Adi 🥰 We're so glad you enjoy our recipes! -Team Marion's Kitchen

[@wokebear7797]

The skin on actually makes it more delicious!! Pull out the onions when they sweat down then the chicken skin side down , and then return everything to the pan and continue with the recipe - delicious!

[@paigepetty8332]

Can I just say your channel is one of my favorites on KZbin! Consistent posting, always quick to watch, yet super explanatory. And everything looks delicious!! Thanks for what you do, Marion!! You need ALLL the followers, YT is missing out!

[@999994687]

I totally agree with you! Her asian cookings are also authentic and easy to follow.

[@andersondias2414]

To be honest she made my day so delicious

[@andersondias2414]

This dish I use to have time I use to work for carnival cruise line my co workers use to cooke it from Indonesia and use to love it 6 months a contract in USA miami as I am from Asia and I love spicy food. Now 18 years past for this memory's . I live in london now and still I cook it at list 1 time a week thank you

[@andersondias2414]

And also sambal I just love it and keep it up u doing good job 👏

[@LienNguyen-oh6ir]

I’m Vietnamese and this dish is a staple in Vietnamese dinner meals. It’s called Ga Xa Ot. Ga = Chicken, Xa = Lemongrass & Ot = Chilli 😋

[@Timothee_Chalamet_CMBYN]

Cave man talk lol. Me hungry, eat chicken lemon grass chili

[@beezlebub9]

Vietnamese food is my favourite south East Asian cuisine. Lighter, fresher and yummier than Thai food.

[@pursuitsoflife.6119]

@@Timothee_Chalamet_CMBYN literally most dishes are named that way. What's your point?

[@Timothee_Chalamet_CMBYN]

Pursuits of Life. Cave man talk. Read.

[@Timothee_Chalamet_CMBYN]

Pursuits of Life. Most dishes I know have a name like spaghetti. I don’t just say “noodle beef red sauce” like a Neanderthal.

[@vanluong4270]

I always love Marion’s recipes- they are simple yet sooo tasty

[@sydneyo4289]

I am 100% Vietnamese but don’t know how to make lemongrass chicken. So I have to learn how to make a Vietnamese dish from a foreigner. 😊 Love your video. Thanks.

[@PhuNguyen-or9ir]

You must be Cambodian or something

[@DPXHB88]

Phu Nguyen you must be a troll or something

[@h0ngkicu]

You better learn Vietnamese dishes from Vietnamese people. Even though it looks right foreigners tend to make these Asian dishes with their own "touch". No offense to foreigners. I do really appreciate foreigners cooking Asian dishes. It's just really save to learn it from the "origin"

[@alannguyen9687]

Don’t forget to toss your leftover rice into the pan to scrape and soak up all the yummy goodness sauce... that’s what I always do. So so good!

[@LacHong3541]

I do the same….use up every bit of the yummy sauce 😛

[@laurieherman1215]

I made this for the crew whom work at my favorite pub. Everyone loved it. In fact the owners eat some found me in the pub to thank me for cooking and bringing it in.

[@sharktalez]

Made this twice in two weeks ❤️ it's a hit guys!! I found that the first time I over stirred and it didn't come out as caramelized and sticky. Leaving it for a bit then stirring occasionally made it BEAUTIFUL 😍 Vietnamese food is just so good for the soul

[@legsofoctopus797]

Asian food in my opinion is the best food 😋

[@sosaruhinda2615]

Possibly.. what's better Chinese vs Japanese?

[@sosaruhinda2615]

Not true... very spicy like Chinese... if bland put some wasabi on it... it makes things better😁

[@AlexSandra2525]

Sosa Ruhinda have you tried wasabi snack seaweed thins ?? I love them

[@AO-iv6yr]

Victoria Adeyemi Japanese might bland but they focus on the quality of the ingredients.

[@nahidbodiz7053]

[@cucchat3409]

As a Vietnamese, thank you very much for making this dish really good and beautiful.

[@heysdadbutler2098]

Absolutely Wonderful... It's 27 deg F here in North Texas today and I'm out in it at our Wok Island making this recipe. My neighbor yells over the fence (while taking his dog potty) OMG..What smells so good over there...Thank you for getting the entire neighborhood wanting me to make some for them..LOL Wonderful Dish....♥

[@cynthialopez4485]

Thank you!🙂

[@chasenip2]

Any time I see a video from Marion my thumb instantly clicks, no thought required. I love ANY Asian cuisine that includes cucumbers on the side. They’re such a yummy, sweet, bright, cool palate cleanser in between bites of spicy food!!!

[@maricaskidmore2587]

I used a dark fish sauce and the flavour really was too intense. Marion's tip about using a lighter coloured fish sauce was spot on. Love your recipes, as does my family - thank-you!

[@InTheRecoveryRoom]

Turned out PERFECTLY!!!!.......Thank you for explaining the method to carmelize ... my dish turned out exactly as you instructed -- absolutely DELICIOUS

[@ggizlan2418]

I love watching you cook Marion, from Masterchef days...you have a way of making our mouths water, and your commentary makes it all seem so easy! This dish turned out amazing...only thing I did different was to cook the chicken first till I got some browning, then added the onions etc. Waited on tenterhooks for the coconut water to boil down to stickiness. I have cooked so many of your recipes, and you never fail me! You are my favourite go-to chef!!

[@5roseangle]

I made this today and you are right -its pure magic. I used two lemongrass as they didn't smell strong enough to me and dish was sublime. I served it with rice and stir fried beans and lettuce. Yummy X thanks xx

[@amreetasen6248]

Marion,ever since I started studying with you my Asian cooking has really become yummy! I enjoy all your classes but not fish oil... Thanks for all the nurturing....

[@williammckinlay5191]

I’ve had this dish many times and it was a delight to see how it’s made. I lived in Thailand for 3 years as I married a Thai woman and adopted her 3 year old daughter. We moved back to Australia so Thow could go to school here. She’s now 22 and in third year of nursing at university. I love your channel and your recipes. Great videos 😀😀😀

[@robylove9190]

There is no better way to start the day than to wake up to one of Marion's videos. Thanks Marion!

[@2Phast4Rocket]

One of the best way to cook Asian food is to get a 14" steel wok and a high BTU burner and place it next to the bbq grill in the back yard. You can cook the day's meal very fast because of the high heat content of the wok. One huge advantage of cooking outside is the smoke from cooking doesn't permeate throughout your house. You can stir fry or cook the most umami meal without worrying about how your kitchen smells afteward.

[@Cookingwith2chefs]

I miss having a lemongrass growing outside. We are obsessed with your videos. Thanks for inspiring other chefs!

[@anindo73]

the real recipe we need Marion is how you keep your lipstick so perfect while eating food

[@vinry28]

This is delicious!!!! My partner loved it! I paired with coconut rice and grape tomatoes and cucumber with a little drizzle of sweet soy. Thank you. Ive also made several of your other dishes and never fails! Thank you Marion for making my life easier!

[@sugarbabz86]

I just made this dish and I am loving it. It's so delicious. Going to make it again in the future.

[@samadoresmakeup2588]

Hey Marion, I'm a Sam from Philippines living in France and working as wok chef. Since I discover your YT channel , Omg I swear I can't stop watching your videos. I'm learning so much things..thanks a lot please continue to share more recipes please. Bisous😘😘

[@honeyjeica7087]

Everytime I see you cooking, it seems like you are dancing gracefully and there's like birds humming.

[@Burevestnik9M730]

Fantastic synergy of ingredients! I substituted maple syrup for sugar and coconut based soy sauce substitute for fish sauce. It came out beautiful. Nuoc cham sauce is out of this world. I used drumsticks on barbecue and it retained lemongrass juiciness throughout. I marinated for 12 hours and I think it is essential for the infusion of lemongrass. A keeper! A subscriber!

[@xxxxxsimonxxxxx]

I made it today and honestly, that was one of the best things i’ve ever eaten (and i cook a lot). My local grocery store was out of lemongrass so i bought a lime instead, zested it and also added juice of half. I really recommend trying this recipe out! I’ll definitely be making it again. Thanks Marion♥️

[@Marionskitchen]

SO awesome you enjoyed it! I love the lime substitution! I'm going to try that myself :-)

[@novembersky3749]

Wow Marion your Vietnamese 🍋 lemon grass chicken taste so delicious 😋

[@taitai2260]

Woww, Excellent! This dish looks very delicious. I come from Viet Nam. There is a little difference that my mother does not use the onions and she uses the turmeric powder to make the dish yellow.

[@hdrik66]

Hello Marion , mine did,nt go as dark as yours . Took a bit more time to evaporate the Coconut water . It is incredible simple in ingredients but I was surprised how good the taste was . Thank you for your inspiration.

[@sybrelsford]

I love how often you publish videos!!!! Keep the tasty recipes coming!!!

[@briannevin2087]

Greetings from Toronto, Canada! You are my new fave internet cook. Love how you explain the different elements/steps of your recipes. I just bought the fixings for the eggs/ch. thigh/rice noodle crispy wok fry and cant wait to try my hand at it. The tip about looking at the colour of the fish sauce before buying, is much appreciated. In Canada, we have a cook who won a televised cooking competition, and who now has her own show called "Mary's Kitchen Crush". I mention this only because she has her own cool look going on with eyeglasses - only the frame is light blue. (She is a redhead, so they work well. haha). Anyhow. I am totally into Asian food, and love cooking for myself and others. So your recipes are just the ticket. Cheers! Brendan

[@Marionskitchen]

Hey thanks for your very thoughtful comments Brendan! I'm super thrilled you've been enjoying my videos and recipes. I hope you enjoy the roasted rice noodle dish. That's definitely one of my favs at the moment. And I'll have to look up Mary's Kitchen Crush! She sounds very interested and I also love to see fellow bespectacled women! LOL

[@pamelapayne400]

The lemongrass is something new to me. I will give it a try! Thank you Marion!

[@Cookingwith2chefs]

Pamela Payne you can’t go wrong with it. Happy cooking!

[@iluvjoejonas85]

I find it too strong of a flavor and smell. It just depends on your taste buds. Definitely lemony flavor, my Vietnamese restaurant near me puts it in everything even the fried rice but in Bún bò Huê it doesn’t come through as much.

[@Cookingwith2chefs]

We make a coconut soup with lemongras, it adds just a nice hint of lime with chicken and vegetables. We plan on making a video for it very soon!

[@danketterer559]

Made this tonight...honestly was a little concerned because of how SIMPLE it is. Turned out fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and recipes. :) I went a little heavier on the sugar (after sampling the sauce) and used coconut milk instead of water because I had it on hand. Wonderful....

[@mahayousufi8346]

Did coconut milk overpower the flavor or it paired well?

[@mikelong609]

One of my favorite dishes! And your version look totally amazing!!

[@bernaldulce]

I made this recipe and OHMGIOSH it was soooo good!!!!!! I didn’t have regular lemon grass but I did find lemon grass paste and it was still very much a hit! It smelled soo good

Love the way she cooks.now.i need start cooking. These are of my favorites a

[@Josh_Green44]

I make this quite often, as well as Thai basil chicken. As a diabetic, though, I just leave out the sugar, and it really does turn out fine. The fish sauce does smell unappetizing when added, but it cooks off nicely, leaving behind great flavor. When the fish sauce is added, I simply avoid "smelling" the dish until it has cooked off. Same with Chinese cooking wine....strong smell going in, but I know it's cooked off properly and brought flavors together when I can no longer smell it.

[@Longfordmuse]

Another lovely, authentic, easy, gorgeous recipe to follow. My favourite KZbin channel for daily inspiration ❤

I just made this but with a few changes; one tbsp less fish sauce, blended the marinade, added a tbsp mirin (just cuz I love mirin), added a tsp of sambal oelek, skipped the chili’s because I don’t have them, and then substituted coconut water with a cup of hot water mixed with a tbsp of brown sugar... it was still goooooood lmfao I just realized I basically made a different recipe.

[@SharkWithFreakinLaserBeam]

There's a local Vietnamese restaurant near me that makes a Lemongrass Chicken very similar to this. I'm pretty sure they're not using coconut water, and also the sauce ends up looking very runny and more oily. It's also very dark - like soy sauce in terms of color, but otherwise I think it would taste very similar to this recipe. If I don't use coconut water, what would you recommend to leave it runny but not over seasoned?

[@metsrus]

use shallots instead of onions to get the authentic flavor and aroma.

[@fmaxs]

Tom Ly exactly

[@KingOfThePirates101]

Wow. Should I substitute onions in pho soup for shallots to get the authentic flavor and aroma?

[@metsrus]

@@KingOfThePirates101 Nah, authentic pho uses onions as far as I know.
