Lemongrass chicken is the dish you smell before you see it — the citrusy, herbal aroma of lemongrass hitting a hot pan is unmistakable. The marinade is lemongrass (use the tender inner stalk), garlic, fish sauce, sugar, and a little turmeric for colour. Grill or pan-fry until caramelized. Serve over vermicelli noodles with fresh herbs — mint, cilantro, Thai basil — shredded lettuce, pickled carrots and daikon, and a splash of nuoc cham dipping sauce. This is the bowl that Vietnamese restaurants in every Canadian city do perfectly, and now you can make it at home.

Conseils de pro

  • 💡Most international spices are available at T&T, Adonis, or the international aisle of Loblaws, Metro, and Sobeys.
  • 💡Marinating overnight makes a significant difference in flavour penetration — plan ahead when possible.
  • 💡Bone-in chicken is preferred for most international recipes because the bones add body and richness to the sauce.

Variantes

  • 🔄Swap chicken thighs for drumsticks — they're often cheaper and work in nearly every international recipe.
  • 🔄Vegetarian version: replace chicken with chickpeas or firm tofu for most recipes.
  • 🔄Adjust spice levels freely — start with half the chili/heat components and add more to taste.
