Notes

SERVING SUGGESTION: Steamed broccolini, baby bok choy and snow peas, plus fresh lime and steamed jasmine rice.TIP: To prepare lemongrass, peel away the tough outer layers and trim the base. Only chop the pale lower part of the stem. You can freeze the green ends to add flavour to soups.Palm sugar is the brown hardened sap of a type of palm tree. It is often sold in ‘rounds’ in the Asian section of most supermarkets. If unavailable you can use 1½ tablespoons brown sugar instead.
