My First WOK Cook of Chicken and Lemongrass

I did that because I already had my oil heating and if something went wrong or I burned myself, I had a quicker water supply to help. It was just running a garden hose on my lawn basically and if I needed the water, it was there.

Speaking of lawns, your lawn looks pretty dang awesome!  I wish I had grass in my backyard.

Thanks but it's for the stop, drop and roll after the wok fire.

Thanks. I'm going to post more when my fridge comes in. Tracking says friday thru tue so maybe I'll have it for the weekend. The hole was using a string tied to a router to make the circle in the plywood then I used the hole to cut my tile. I rough cut the tile then glued them down and used a 4" grinder and cheap diamond blade to finish trim the tile to the plywood hole. Lots of dust and noise.

I made it again tonight. I like it enough to post the recipe.

1lb skinless chicken breast cut into small pieces

3 stalks lemongrass (tender white part)

1 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon black ground pepper

2 teaspoons cornstarch

2 tablespoons fish sauce

4 tablespoons sesame oil

4-5 stalks table onions (shallots) diced

2 cloves garlic

1/4 cup water

2 tablespoons brown sugar

I mixed the lemongrass, cornstarch, sugar, pepper, 1 tablespoon of the fish sauce and 1 tablespoon of oil in a blender. I mixed that into the chicken and set aside (1 hour min).

Get the wok hot, add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil, garlic and table onions till the garlic colors (30 seconds) add the chicken/ marinade mix. Cook till chicken is almost done (3-4 minutes), add remaining fish sauce, water and brown sugar. All will start to caramelize in a minute. Pull off and serve over rice.
