Ingredients

  • Spice Paste:

    • 1 shallot, minced
    • 2 tsp. minced garlic
    • 2 tsp. minced jalapeño chile
    • 1 Tbsp. minced fresh ginger
    • 1 tsp. coriander
    • 1 Tbsp. lemon zest
    • 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
    • 1 Tbsp. sesame oil
    • 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
    • ½ tsp. salt
    • ½ tsp. pepper

    Chicken:

    • 1½ lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed

Directions

  1. Soak bamboo skewers in cold water for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Mash the spice paste ingredients using mortar and pestle or blender to form a wet paste.
