Chilies and lemongrass flavor this simple stir-fry, while peanuts add crunch. Hard to get lemongrass at the local grocery store. Make sure, remove the tough, fibrous outer layers from lemongrass before chopping. Read more Use only the pale bottom part of the stalk. Or you can purchase the Gourmet Garden - Lemon Grass herb blend in tube from any super market. See less
