Fragrant grilled lemongrass chicken served over fluffy steamed jasmine rice with pickled vegetables and fresh greens – a satisfying, well-balanced Vietnamese rice plate that's a lunchtime favourite in NE Calgary.
Lemongrass Chicken (cơm gà sả) is a Vietnamese comfort-food staple. We marinate chicken in lemongrass, garlic and a touch of sweetness, then grill it until caramelised and aromatic, keeping the meat juicy inside.
It is served over steamed jasmine rice with a side of pickled vegetables and fresh greens, plus nuớc chấm to bring it all together. Wholesome, filling and full of lemongrass fragrance, it is a complete meal for any day of the week.
