Vietnamese mint chicken is easy to prepare and also very tasty. This dish is considered as the authentic Vietnamese dish. The ingredients of the dish are very easy to arrange. So, you can always try it at home. I am noting down the ingredients as well as the procedure to prepare the dish.
The important and indigenous ingredients are Vietnamese fish Sauce, garlic oil which is usually flavored to taste, half can of bamboo shoots, one tablespoon sugar, one large sized green onion stalk which is properly diced, about three leaves fresh mint, one fourth c of Chicken or Shrimp which should be cut into marble sized pieces, white rice, and crushed red chili peppers. The last one is optional. You may or may not use it. Deep saute pan or wok is required to prepare the food. It is expected that every kitchen have this utensil. So, there won’t be any problem arranging this one.
The dish is easy to prepare. Pre cooked rice should be there which you will use later. At first heat some oil and saute onions. This should be done over medium flame until the onion becomes soft. A dash of fish sauce should be added then. Constantly stir the ingredients and let them fry. Constant stirring will stop the onions from burning. Afterwards the sugar should be mixed.
Increase the flame of the heat and then add chicken or shrimp. Cook it until it is almost done. Stir fry it constantly when the process of cooking is on. If you like spicy taste tosses the dish in the bamboos shoots and some chili. Finally add the mint leaves. After adding the mint leaves immediately remove it from heat so that they don’t cook longer than 30 seconds. The dish is served hot over rice.
