CARAMELIZED LEMONGRASS CHICKEN THIGHS
This is a recipe I came across in a cookbook I had had for some time, and finally decided to make. It was made very clear to me that this was a recipe which I had better make again, as it went over VERY well. This also works with pieces of a whole chicken, but the thighs are just the right size and shape to work well. Prep time includes marinating time (in a pinch you can marinate for about 15 minutes and go).

Steps:
- Remove skins and extra fat from chicken.
- Remove the outer leaves from the lemongrass, cut into 1 inch pieces, and pound until somewhat flattened with a meat tenderizer.
- Crush garlic and blend with lemongrass, fish sauce, sugar, and pepper.
- Add chicken and toss to coat well; marinate 3-4 hours.
- If needed, you can marinate for 15 minutes and cook- the flavor will be less intense, but it will still work if you're in a hurry.
- Remove chicken from marinade (but save the marinade).
- Heat oil in a pan with a tight-fitting lid.
- Brown the chicken in the oil (~10minutes).
- Pour the remaining marinade into the pan, and add enough water to just cover the bottom of the pan (there should be 1/4 inch or less of liquid - it needs to simmer off, or else the chicken won't caramelize).
- Bring the liquid to a boil, then cover tightly and simmer until the chicken is tender, turning occassionally (about 30 minutes).
- Stir lemon juice into sauce, and stir to coat chicken.
- Serve hot.
CARAMELIZED GINGER CHICKEN
Steps:
- Cut each chicken thigh into three equal pieces. Place in a large bowl with the ginger, two-thirds of the oil, and salt and pepper. Cover and marinate for about 6 hours in the refrigerator.
- Heat a large, heavy-based frying pan and pour in the remaining oil. Fry until the meat is colored, about 2 minutes, then drain away the excess oil.
- Add the fish sauce, cover the pan with a lid, and steam until the sauce has dissolved, about 1 minute.
- Now add the prepared caramel to the pan and cook until the caramel has thickened and coated the chicken in a rich golden color, about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- To serve, arrange the chicken pieces on a serving platter and garnish with watercress.

Steps:
- slice chicken into bite size pieces. combine with the fish sauce, sugar, 3/4 lemongrass, 1/2 chilli and 1 chopped garlic clove. Marinate for 2 hours (ideally marinated overnight, or if in a rush give it as much time in the marinate as possible). I've marinated for 10min and its fine.
- In a large saucepan on medium heat, add the oil, remaining 3/4 lemongrass, 1/2 chilli, 2 chopped garlic cloves. Fry just until garlic starts to brown.
- Then add the chicken and add the onions and fry for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occassionally.
- Add the chicken stock and stir for 1min. Reduce the heat slightly and cook for a further 4 min or until the liquid has reduced slightly.
- Put it into a bowl and garnish with coriander leaves, bit of cracked pepper, fried onions or spring onions. To serve with boiled jasmine rice.
- TIP: if the ingredients start to become dry in the pan at any stage, add water (or some of the chicken stock) to stop it from burning.
- You can also find the fried onions at oriental stores, they are a great garnish on pretty much any vietnamese dish!

CARAMELIZED LEMONGRASS SHRIMP
Adapted from "Vietnamese Home Cooking," by Charles Phan. This recipe will work without shrimp heads, but Phan says the heads add richness to the sauce. The recipe also calls for homemade roasted chile paste (there's a recipe in the book), but if you buy it look for jars labeled chile-bean or saté paste, preferably without preservatives. Phan adds that in a pinch you can make the recipe without the chile paste. Serve with steamed white rice.

Steps:
- Make the Caramel Sauce: In a heavy-bottom 4-quart pot, gently melt the sugar over medium-low heat, stirring frequently. This will take 10 to 12 minutes. Do not be tempted to rush the process or you may scorch the sugar.
- When the sugar is lump free, completely melted and just beginning to boil, remove the pan from the heat and very slowly pour in the fish sauce while stirring constantly. Be careful, as it will bubble furiously.
- Use the sauce right away or let cool completely, transfer to an airtight container, and store in a cool cupboard for up to 3 months.
- Shrimp: Set the heads aside. Peel each shrimp body, removing the tail segments, then devein. Sprinkle bodies with the pepper; set aside.
- Pour the oil into a 2-quart clay pot or high-sided skillet, and heat over medium heat. Add the shallots, chiles and reserved shrimp heads and cook, stirring, about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add the lemongrass, garlic, ginger, and chile paste; cook, stirring, about 1 minute more. Add the caramel sauce and stock; stir to combine.
- Add the shrimp bodies, and toss to coat with the aromatic ingredients. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes, until the shrimp are bright pink.
- Serve directly from the clay pot, accompanied by steamed white rice.

- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of the water with the sugar and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil without stirring until an amber caramel syrup forms, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and carefully pour in the remaining 1/2 cup of water. Boil until the caramel is syrupy, about 4 minutes longer. Swirl in the lemon juice. Transfer the caramel sauce to a medium bowl.
- In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of the fish sauce with the cornstarch and pepper; add the chicken and stir to coat.
- In a wok, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil until smoking. Add the lemongrass, onion, garlic and ginger and stir-fry over high heat until the garlic is golden, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the chicken and stir-fry until the chicken turns white, about 3 minutes. Add the carrot, the remaining 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, the cayenne and 3 tablespoons of the caramel sauce and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until the chicken is glazed, about 4 minutes. Stir in the broth, simmer for 30 seconds and serve.
