I love fresh lemon grass so this recipe was heading the right way for me! I dont like coriander and most Vietnamese dishes are drowning in this stuff, so then it took a downward spiral for me! I was once told that if I dislike cooking with coriander I should substitute it with parsley, and this is exactly what I did and it was a hit!
Enjoy
