Chicken Panang

Chicken Panang shows all the hallmarks of Thai cooking. It combines fish sauce (nam bla), lemon grass, shrimp paste, and gingerroot to create this amazing complex flavour. Fish sauce is a golden colored liquid made from fermented salted fish, usually anchovies. It has a fishy odor and is very salty. But when it is cooked and mixed with other ingredients it mellows out and it just makes any dish amazing. Fish sauce is really like salt in Asian cooking (i.e. Vietnamese, Filipino, Indonesian cooking use fish sauce as well). But unlike salt, fish sauce imparts amazing flavour to Asian food and in this case, chicken panang. Served with steaming hot rice, chicken panang is unbeatable.
