This Vietnamese Lemongrass is a mandatory order whenever we visit our favorite Vietnamese Restaurant here in NJ. We loved it so much that I decided to recreate the sauce at home. It turned out so good and it was a instant hit at home !
Note: The original recipe was created on 2/15/2011 and was liked and followed by many bloggers.
我们家附近有一家越南餐厅做的香茅鸡特别好吃，我一直很想要自己在家做一次，找了好些食谱都觉得跟我们喜欢的有点出入。今天趁着周末，我就自己研究了一番，做出比较满意的香茅酱。
今晚的晚饭就是香茅鸡啦！老公吃了两大盘呢！
注：原食谱创作于 2011年2月15日，受到许多网友的喜爱，非常谢谢大家的支持哦！

Thanks for sharing this recipe, it was very delicious.
ReplyDeleteSonia，oh yes... and it goes soo well with Jasmine rice...
ReplyDeleteYou could prepare a bottle of this paste and use it for a month or so... I have a couple of other cuisine using the same paste.. you can check it out too!
Echo，谢谢你的食谱！我一直都有在看你的食谱，谢谢你不吝于分享！我有一个小问题，我有试过用你说的方法去种香茅，可是我的香茅才放进水里几天，就会开始发霉（根部会变黑）。我也有天天换水。后来有几根，好像发霉没那么严重，就只是外层而已，我就把外层去掉，用potting soil种在花盆里，可是却活不起来 >_< 我没有green thumb，每次种什么都好像会死掉。是我没让它在水里待久的关系吗？根要长多长才可以种？用普通的potting soil就可以了吗？
ReplyDelete谢谢你！
CW好，我想可能你买回来的香茅已经不新鲜了，或者你泡香茅的罐子有油迹，还是不干净。一般来说室温下，6-7天就看见根须就可以种了。
ReplyDelete还有，你泡很多根吗？一般2-3根一起泡就好了。
谢谢你的回复，Echo! 我的香茅是在Whole Foods 买的（想说，买比较好的，因为这里的亚洲市场卖的是干瘪瘪的，哈哈！）下次我再挑更新鲜一点的，罐子再洗干净一点试试看。我通常都只泡3根（主妇心态，怕泡不出根会浪费所以都只泡几根，哈哈！）
ReplyDelete谢谢你！
呵呵。。我也是泡两根而已。。呵呵。。
