The Lemongrass Chicken is my absolute fav!! I miss that place. Managed to recreate something that was pretty close a few weeks ago 🙂
Hi Sara! That’s cool that you know the place. It’s one of those places that people don’t really rave about. Maybe because it’s not “cool”? I haven’t thought to recreate this dish athome yet. Maybe I will now. Did you find a recipe online?
Yea I just found a couple on epicurious or something – let me now if you want the link! I like the lemongrass ones that use tumeric rather than curry powder (not much of a fan of curry powder). You kind of caramelize the sugar and onions first to make it sticky and yummy!
I shall do some hunting Sara. Do you use fresh lemongrass? I bought some in a jar once but it went mouldy really quickly.
Fresh lemongrass for sure! I used to get it from a thai food store in NZ. Lemongrass makes an amazing sorbet too.
