For the marinade, follow the directions for preparing lemongrass for soup.

This sounds really good. Next time I am in the city I have to get some lemongrass. I’ve never cooked with it.

I feel a little rebellious reviewing this one, because I was missing a key ingredient (the lemongrass), I followed the rest as is, and loved the flavor anyhow! I thought the brown sugar sweetness really made this dish, and will have to try it again when the commissary miraculously carries lemongrass! Thanks!

I finally managed to get ahold of some lemongrass, so I decided to make this, and I’m glad I did! The balance of flavors was spot-on and the lemongrass made everything so bright. YUMMY!

Perfect blend of lemongrass and spicy… I only had jarred, sliced lemongrass and omitted the onion for a picky hubby, but overall easy to make and very flavorful! :)
