Notes
Oh, hello flavor. This is something new and unique to bring to the ‘favorites’ lineup. Not used to using lemongrass? Don’t fret, it couldn’t be easier to incorporate, and is available at most supermarkets these days.
Make ahead tip: this will last great in the fridge for 3-4 days, reheat thoroughly when ready to serve. We love this over cauliflower or basmati rice.
