2 shallots, chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
2 ounces gingerroot, chopped
1 tablespoon turmeric
2 lemongrass, stalks finely chopped
6 chicken thighs
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup water
salt and pepper
vegetable oil

1
Put shallots, garlic, ginger, turmeric, and lemon grass in a blender and process into a paste.
2
Put soy sauce, water, and sugar into a large frying pan. Heat (to help sugar dissolve).
3
Put chicken thighs in frying pan and cover with paste. Simmer, uncovered, until cooked (20-30 minutes). Turn about halfway through to ensure even cooking.
4
Heat enough vegetable oil to deep-fry the chicken. Oil must be VERY hot - almost to the smoke point.
5
Remove chicken thighs, season with salt and pepper, and deep-fry 6-8 minutes until surface is crisp and golden.
6
While deep-frying chicken, heat the remaining water and drippings to thicken. Use this as a dipping sauce for the chicken.
