Ingredients

4 chicken thighs
2 stalks fresh lemongrass, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 inch ginger, minced
2 tablespoons honey or sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Juice of 1 lime
Salt to taste

Instructions

Marinate the chicken in a mixture of minced lemongrass, garlic, ginger, and sweetener for at least 30 minutes.
Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken in the pan, ensuring there’s space for even cooking.
Sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side.
Drizzle with lime juice just before serving.

Notes

For best results, marinate overnight for maximum flavor. You can substitute chicken with tofu or fish, and add sliced chili peppers for heat.
