Cooking Steps

1
  • Before starting, preheat the broiler to high. 
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • Remove and discard outer layer of lemongrass, then halve lengthwise. Using the white part only place lemongrass on a cutting board, cut-side down. Using the back of a spoon or a pot, forcefully hit lemongrass to crush, then chop very finely.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Pat chicken dry with paper towel.
  • In a medium bowl, add lemongrass, half the garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar and fish. Mix to combine.
  • Add chicken to bowl. Mix to combine and chicken is coated. Set a side.
2
  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
  • Add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high. 
  • To the boiling water, stir in rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 13-15 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
3
  • Cut tomatoes into 1/2-inch rounds.
  • Zest, then juice half the lime. Cut remaining lime into wedges.
  • Remove and discard outer layer and stem of lettuce. Carefully pick individual leafs off.
  • Roughly chop cilantro.
4
  • To a foil-lined baking sheet, add chicken and 2 tsp (4 tsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
    Broil in the middle of the oven for 10-12 min, flipping once, until cooked through.**
5
  • To a small, add nuoc cham, half the lime zest, half the lime juice, remaining garlic and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar. Stir to combine.
  • To a medium bowl, add carrots and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) of the nuoc cham sauce. Mix to combine. Season with salt.
6
  • Thinly slice chicken. Add resting juice to rice.
  • Add half the cilantro, resting juice and remaining lime zest to rice and fluff with a fork.
  • Divide rice, carrots, tomato and lettuce between bowls.
  • Divide chicken on top of rice and sprinkle remaing cilantro over top.
  • Serve Nuoc Cham on the side.
  • Squeeze lime wedge over top, if desired.
