Lemongrass3 stalks
Ginger2 tbsp
Garlic4 cloves
Sugar1 tbsp
Red onion1 medium

Method

1

Slice chicken breast into thin strips (about ¼-inch thick). Mince lemongrass white and light green parts finely. Mince ginger and garlic. Slice red onion into wedges and bell pepper into strips.

2

In a small bowl, combine fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar; stir until sugar dissolves. Set sauce aside.

3

Heat coconut oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add chicken strips in a single layer and cook 3–4 minutes without stirring, until edges turn white.

4

Stir chicken and cook 2–3 minutes more until cooked through. Transfer to a plate.

5

In the same wok, add minced lemongrass, ginger, and garlic; stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant. Add red onion and bell pepper; stir-fry 3–4 minutes until vegetables soften slightly.

6

Return chicken to the wok. Pour in prepared sauce and toss everything together for 1–2 minutes until sauce coats the chicken and vegetables evenly.

7

Divide cooked jasmine rice among bowls. Top with lemongrass chicken and vegetables. Garnish with sliced green onion and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
