Tamarind Mayo

Garnishes

Cabbage

Method

Marinated Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, finely chop the lemongrass, garlic, and ginger. Add soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for best results.

  3. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Grill the chicken thighs for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and juices run clear. Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Pickled Vegetables

  1. 4

    Prepare the Pickling Solution

    In a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat until sugar and salt dissolve, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool.

  2. 5

    Pickle the Vegetables

    Julienne the carrot and daikon radish. Place them in a clean jar or bowl and pour the cooled pickling solution over the vegetables. Make sure they are fully submerged. Let sit for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Tamarind Mayo

  1. 6

    Prepare the Tamarind Mayo

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, tamarind paste, and lime juice. Whisk together until smooth. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Assemble the Dish

    On a serving plate, lay down a bed of shredded cabbage. Top with sliced grilled chicken, pickled carrots and daikon, and drizzle with tamarind mayo. Garnish with sriracha, sliced jalapeños, and fresh cilantro.
