Ingredients
- ground chicken - 500 g
- fresh lemongrass - 1 stalk
- garlic - 3 cloves
- fresh ginger - 15 g
- fish sauce rybny - 2 tablespoons
- soy sauce sojowy - 1 tablespoon
- sugar - 1 teaspoon
- chili pepper - 0.5 pieces
- fresh coriander - 2 tablespoons
- oil roślinny - 1 tablespoon
- skewers - 8 pieces
Main Ingredient:
ground chicken
Preparation
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in cold water for at least 20 minutes so they don’t burn during baking or grilling.
- Peel the tough outer leaves from the lemongrass and cut off the root end. Finely chop the tender part of the stalk or blitz very finely in a blender.
- Finely chop or grate the garlic and ginger. Finely chop the chili.
- In a large bowl, place the ground chicken, chopped lemongrass, garlic, ginger, chili, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and chopped coriander.
- Knead the mixture with your hand for 2–3 minutes, until everything is well combined and the meat becomes slightly sticky – this helps the skewers hold together better.
- Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Wrap each portion around a skewer, forming a long sausage shape about 2–3 cm thick. Press the meat firmly onto the skewer so it doesn’t fall off during cooking.
- Lightly brush the skewers with oil on all sides.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (top and bottom heat) or heat a grill pan. Arrange the skewers on a baking tray lined with baking paper or on a rack set over a tray.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, turning the skewers halfway through, until cooked through and lightly browned. If using a grill pan, cook over medium-high heat for about 10–12 minutes, turning every few minutes.
- Serve the hot skewers with rice, salad, or as a snack with your favorite chili sauce.
