A quick and flavorful Lemongrass Chicken Stir-Fry recipe that combines tender chicken with fresh vegetables and a savory sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 stalks lemongrass, finely minced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Cooked jasmine rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the minced lemongrass and garlic, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Increase the heat to high and add the sliced chicken. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
  4. Add the sliced red bell pepper and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, and black pepper. Pour this sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat everything evenly. Cook for another 2 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped green onions.
  7. Serve the lemongrass chicken stir-fry over cooked jasmine rice.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of red pepper flakes while cooking.
  • Substitute the chicken with tofu or shrimp for a different protein option.
