Ingredients:

 4 chicken legs
 2 stems of fresh lemongrass
 2 cloves of garlic, chopped
 1 shallot
 1 teaspoon nuoc mam
 1 teaspoon soy sauce
 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
 2 tablespoons of honey
 4 tablespoons of water
 Pepper
 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped coriander leaves.
 100 g white rice
 200 g frozen green beans
 

Instructions:

 Preheat the oven to 240°C.
 Wash the lemongrass. Remove the first membranes and chop the light part of the stem (close to the bulb).
 In a bowl, mix the nuoc mam, soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar and water. Add the chopped lemongrass, chopped shallot and pressed garlic.
 Pour this marinade over the chicken pieces and keep in a cool place for 2 hours.
 Bake the chicken for 40 minutes until half done.
 Baste the chicken with the marinade every 15 minutes. Add a little hot water if it evaporates too quickly before the end of cooking.
 When the cooking is finished, sprinkle with chopped coriander leaves.
 Cook the rice and green beans in boiling water. Serve as an accompaniment.

The nutritionist's advice:

You can keep the top of the lemongrass stem (green part) to flavor your broths. It is preferable to flavor cooking water or your dishes with aromatic herbs and spices that will reduce the salt seasoning.
