Today, I would like to introduce Gaiyaan (Thai yakitori), a popular Thai dish .
Gai is chicken, yarn is baking.
If you add "gai" to a dish, such as tom kha gai or khao man gai, it's easy to understand that it's a chicken dish.
By the way, in Lao, it is gai, and in Vietnamese, it is ga (chicken pho is pho nga).
It's similar, isn't it?
However, Cambodia to the east has Moan, Malaysia and Indonesia to the south have Ayam (for example, Ayam Goreng is fried chicken), and Myanmar to the west has Chetta (chicken curry). I will.
Now, Gaiyaan is easy to make, and there's no Japanese person who doesn't like it. It's so delicious that you can't believe it.
<material>
・2 chicken thighs
・2 tablespoons of soy sauce (preferably Thai or Chinese soy sauce)
・2 tablespoons of alcohol (preferably Shaoxing wine )
・1 tablespoon sugar (preferably palm sugar)
・2 tablespoons of honey
・2 tablespoons lime juice
・2 tablespoons minced garlic
・2 tablespoons of lemongrass (preferably fresh, frozen, powdered, or dried)
・About 3 pieces of Bimaclu (fresh, frozen, and dried, in that order, but drying loses a lot of flavor)
・Add as much chili pepper as you like
Just mix the above ingredients, marinate the chicken thighs, and then grill.
Marinate for at least half a day if possible. You can leave it to soak for a day.
The best way to grill it is with charcoal.
If you have the opportunity to grill over charcoal, such as outdoor BBQ or camping,
If so, we recommend preparing and baking in large quantities. It is sure to receive rave reviews.
However, I don't think there are many opportunities to grill fish over charcoal, so you can also grill it deliciously using a regular grill or a frying pan.
A lot of fat will be produced, so it is best to use a grill that can remove the fat.
The above ingredients are just a base, and if you make it several times and pursue your own taste, it will be even more fun.
For example, adding fish sauce or oyster sauce will enhance the flavor.
If you want a lighter finish, you can omit the palm sugar.
Changing the soy sauce from Nama-ku (regular soy sauce) to Ro-ku (tamari soy sauce) will increase the richness.
If you have children in your household, you can omit the chili pepper .
On the other hand, if you remove it from the list above, it won't be Gaiyaan, but lime (Thai lime, Manao is even better). Lime is something you don't want to miss.
Also, I would definitely like Lemongrass and Bimaclu.
The finished gaiyan is full of umami and flavor, so it's great to eat as is, but it's also great with a squeeze of lime or dipped in sweet chili sauce .
If you haven't yet, please try it!
