Lemon Grass Pork

L. Duch's Note:

Just got down from the table after preparing and eating this. I found this on another website. This is a wonderful Thia dish. I also made some lemon tea (made by steeping the lemon grass with the tea bag) and it complimented the dish wonderfully.

We just made this and really liked the dish. We reduced the oil but otherwise made as directed. Thanks for posting. This was the first time I've bought lemon grass and it has a very nice taste. I followed prep directions in another recipe: CUT OFF THE WOODY TOPS AND BOTTOMS OF THE LEMON GRASS. REMOVE THE OUTER SECOND OR THIRD LAYERS OF THE STALK AND USE THE TENDER MIDDLE SECTIONS.
