Vietnamese

Ingredients

44 comiskey
3 lb frying chicken
1/2 lemongrass
4 stalks
3 scallion
2 tb peanut oil
2 chile peppers
2 ts sugar
1/2 c chicken stock
1/4 ts black pepper
1 ts salt
1/2 c dry peanuts
2 tb nuoc mam
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Season with sugar and pepper and add the chicken stock. Stir for a few minutes. Garnish with the peanuts, "nuoc mam" and coriander. Serve with rice, if desired. This quickly prepared but terrifically flavorful dish is great served with rice paper wrappers. I love it with a few leaves of mint and basil. This is one you must try. It is easily done in a wok.
