Today my Mom came over to help me harvest my lemongrass.  They are so easy to grow, super low maintenance and supposedly deter snakes!  I have 7 bushes total.  We harvested almost 7 lbs on the largest bush!  Mom will mince them with her food processor and we’ll freeze for later use.  Newly harvested lemongrass is amazing!

I’m sharing with you 2 of my favorite lemongrass dishes.  Lemongrass Tofu is a very easy dish to make, great for vegetarians!  I grew up eating it since my grandma was vegetarian.  My sons also love it as well.  For the Chicken Chili Lemongrass dish, I typically use and prefer bone-in chicken such as drumsticks.  But since my husband is on a healthier diet I decided to use chicken breast this time.  Chicken breast cooks really fast which is a plus when you are on a crunch for time!  I boiled potato leaves to eat with these 2 dishes but you can use raw vegetable such as cucumber and tomato.
