Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
- 10 slices of ham
- 12-15 shrimp
- 2 green onions
- 2 stalks lemongrass
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- Cornstarch (for coating)
- Oil (for frying)
Instructions:
| Step | Details |
|---|---|
| 1 | Slice the chicken breast halves into 5 thin strips each, resulting in approximately 5 strips per breast. |
| 2 | Use a Chinese cleaver or mallet to flatten the chicken strips gently. |
| 3 | Mash the shrimp and mix them with finely chopped green onions, lemongrass, salt, and pepper until you achieve a thick paste-like consistency. |
| 4 | Lay out the ham slices on top of the flattened chicken pieces. |
| 5 | Place approximately a teaspoon of the shrimp mixture onto each ham slice. |
| 6 | Roll up the chicken and ham around the shrimp filling, securing each roll with toothpicks to prevent unraveling during frying. |
| 7 | Dip each roll into cornstarch, ensuring it’s evenly coated on all sides. |
| 8 | In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the rolls and fry until they turn golden brown and the chicken is cooked through, usually about 3-4 minutes per side. |
| 9 | Once cooked, remove the rolls from the skillet and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil. |
| 10 | Serve the Vietnamese Phoenix Rolls hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as Nuoc Cham, a Vietnamese spicy fish sauce. |
