Ingredients

  • 1 shallot, minced

  • 2 stalks lemongrass, peeled and chopped

  • 1 Thai bird's eye chile pepper, seeded and chopped

  • 1 clove garlic, chopped

  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger

  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

  • 1 ½ teaspoons oyster sauce

  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips

  • skewers

Directions

  1. Pound shallot, lemongrass, chile pepper, garlic, and ginger into a coarse paste in a mortar and pestle. Mix in fish sauce, vegetable oil, sugar, and oyster sauce.

  2. Place chicken strips in a large resealable plastic bag; add paste and toss to coat. Let chicken marinate in the refrigerator, at least 1 hour.

  3. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

  4. Thread marinated chicken onto skewers. Grill until chicken is golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes per side.

Cook's Note:

If you don't have a mortar and pestle, you can make the marinade in a small food processor.
