Comments on: Spicy Lemongrass Chicken (Ga Kho Xa Ot) http://sundaynitedinner.com/ga-kho-xa-ot/ Thu, 29 Jul 2010 05:13:49 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Harris Gershman http://sundaynitedinner.com/ga-kho-xa-ot/comment-page-1/#comment-2842 Harris Gershman Thu, 21 May 2009 19:07:29 +0000 http://sundaynitedinner.com/ga-kho-xa-ot/#comment-2842 I've been making this for months! Great dish. I made major tweaks however. I used both ginger and (prepared) lemongrass together. Also, I added chopped daikon, chunks of carrots, reconstituted shitakes and, on occaision, chinese sausage slices. The carrits and mushrooms absorb the "sauce" and are killer. Thanks for the lead.

It was sooo good! I am making it this weekend for my fiance's birthday dinner. I am wondering if I should be using dried chilis or fresh? Thanks!

I added a chopped shallot, a few cloves of freshly minced garlic, and a few extra teaspoons of sugar to sweeten it up a bit. Finally, I added a tablespoon of generic maple syrup. It was absolutely fabulous, and my whole family loved it. I've noticed a few people posting about the difficulty of working with fresh lemongrass (which part of the stalk to use, chopping it finely enough, etc) - my local Thai grocer had a small container of pre-minced lemongrass in his frozen food section. It made things super easy! DELICIOUS RECIPE! I tried this recipe out, and added a few things.

I'm glad you tried out the recipe. For a traditional bho kho check out this <a href="http://holybasil.wordpress.com/2008/01/09/bo-kho-vietnamese-beef-stew/" rel="nofollow external">recipe</a> from HolyBasil. I haven't made pho at home in a long time, as I like bun bo hue more. I can get good pho at restaurants, but it's much harder to find good bun bo hue. Anyway, for pho check out Andrea Nguyen's <a href="http://www.vietworldkitchen.com/bookshelf/articles/pho_SJM.htm#recipe" rel="nofollow external">pho recipe</a>. Tracie, yeah!

It was my first time using the fish sauce you recommended and it is milder than the previous brand that I had been using. It was surprisingly easy to make. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I had always wanted to learn Vietnamese cooking. I was wondering if you have any recipes for bho kho, Vietnamese lemonade and a good broth for pho. Bho Kho is one of Eric's favorite dishes. Is it prepared in a similar way? Everyone that I work with seems to have a different way of making pho broth. Any suggestions for a tasty broth?
