I still have a lot of lemongrass left in my refrigerator
after my purchase from my local farmer’s market for the Chili
Lemongrass Squid (辣椒檸檬葉魷魚, Laat6 Ziu1
Ning4 Mung4 Jip6 Jau4 Jyu4)
dish. Another flavor that goes well with lemongrass is basil, and fresh basil
leaves can be purchased at your local supermarket or if you’re fortunate
enough, grown in your garden. The heat in this dish comes from dried red
chilies, and the amount of dried red chilies to use is a personal preference,
so feel free to use more or less. The sauce is based on fish sauce, which adds
another flavor to the beef used in this dish. Soy sauce can be substituted, but
the dish won’t taste the same.
Enjoy!
