Fish sauce, gochujang, sriracha and soy sauce are all punchy, delicious ingredients that impart an unreal depth of flavor to whatever you're making for dinner. Luckily, in this global age, they are all quite easy to track down at your local supermarket. And what's easier to find at the store than chicken? This lean and savory protein absorbs whatever flavor profile you throw at it, all while lending its own familiar and comforting taste and texture. These five easy and delectable Asian chicken recipes will have your taste-buds believing you're at a food stall in some far-away, bucolic place - but will only require a trip to your local market.
The pungent, savory and clean notes of this ground chicken dish taste like a lunch-stop at a market in Bangkok on a 100 degree day. Cilantro and lime bring an herbaceous, citrusy brightness to this popular dish. Serve with a side of steamed rice. Optional: Add a fried egg on top - or a couple Thai bird chilis for fire.
