Vietnamese Fried Chicken (Gà băm viên rán)

Taste description: Bread crumbs were essential for the desired crispiness of the meatballs. The dish was special with its exotic herbal fragrance from mint leaves, coriander and lemon grass. The addition of chili and pepper gives the food just the right Asian flavor. One side note to take though is to mince the lemon grass well before ingredient mixing to ensure the well-balanced texture of your meat balls. A highly recommended dish this is if you want to add something new beside the rice bowls on your family dinner.















Ingredients:
- 300g minced chicken
- 40g bread crumbs
- 1 lemon grass, cup and chopped

- 4 - 5 onion cloves, cut and chopped
