Chef's tip
Ground chicken is often leaner than ground pork and can dry out more quickly. When browning it, add a little oil if needed and keep the pan juices unless the recipe says to drain them. Cook just until it reaches 165°F (74°C).
2 stalks lemongrass, tender inner core only, finely minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
3 scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced
1 tbsp coconut aminos
Chef's tip
Soy sauce is saltier and less sweet; start with less and adjust.
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 tsp lime zest
½ tsp ground coriander
¼ tsp red pepper flakes
½ tsp salt

For the dipping sauce

¼ cup coconut aminos
Chef's tip
Soy sauce is saltier and less sweet; start with less and adjust.

2 tbsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
