Elevate your grilled chicken with zesty Vietnamese nuoc cham dipping sauce.
Ingredients:
  • 260g chicken thighs, boneless, skinless, well trimmed and cut into 2cm pieces
  • 9.20 gm canola oil
  • 120.00 ml palm sugar
  • 146.40 gm fish sauce
  • 126.00 gm fresh lime juice
  • 1 Thai chilli, minced
  • 1/2 English cucumber, seeded and sliced
  • 8 cherries, pitted and quartered
  • 20.00 ml chopped fresh coriander, plus leaves for garnish
  • 12 small inner butter lettuce leaves
Instructions:
  • Soak 12 small bamboo skewers in water. Preheat the barbecue to medium-high heat. Marinate the chicken pieces with oil and skewer 3 pieces on each soaked skewer. Whisk palm sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, and chili until sugar dissolves to prepare the nuoc cham sauce. Set aside.
  • Combine cucumber, cherries, coriander, and 2 tablespoons of nuoc cham in a small bowl, mix well to coat. Season with salt to taste.
  • Prepare the barbecue grates by brushing them lightly with oil. Season the chicken skewers generously with salt. Grill the chicken skewers, turning occasionally, for approximately 8 minutes or until they have a nice char and are cooked through. Take out the skewers from the grill and dip them into the bowl with the leftover nuoc cham.
  • Arrange the lettuce leaves neatly on a long platter. Unskewer the nuoc cham and place the skewers over the lettuce. Sprinkle the cucumber-cherry salad on top and decorate with fresh coriander. Serve with the nuoc cham on the side for dipping.
