Recipes with lemongrass
Appetizer, sweet and sour
Every time I eat something delicious, I love to replicate it. Ever since I was hooked by a bowl of Tom Yum Goong noodles, I have been obsessed with it. After returning to Guangzhou, I tried many restaurants, but I could never find the unique flavor in my memory. This bowl of noodles has become an unforgettable "white moonlight" in my heart. I tried to replicate that sour, spicy and fragrant taste again and again. Until I found that using this ready-made Tom Yum Goong soup base as the base, I only need to add lemon, lemongrass and other ingredients to simmer the soup over low heat to enhance the flavor, and then pour in coconut milk to blend. In just over ten minutes, I can cook fragrant Tom Yum Goong noodles. Whether you want to slurp noodles, or use them to shabu-shabu seafood or cook mushrooms, it's easy to do. No need for complicated seasoning, even a kitchen novice can easily control it. This version of Tom Yum Goong fresh noodles is the result of laziness and deliciousness, try it now~

grated coconut fried to a golden hue blends harmoniously with the tender shredded chicken. Each piece of serundeng brings a balance of sweetness from the brown sugar, a touch of sourness from the tamarind juice, and the warmth of the spices—shallots, garlic, red chilies, cayenne pepper, turmeric, and coriander—that permeate throughout. The fragrance of lime leaves, galangal, and lemongrass envelops the overall aroma, creating an alluring tropical fragrance. The flavor is a dance of textures: crunchy, savory, and fragrant, with layers of complex flavors—sweet, savory, spicy, and fresh—perfect for accompanying warm rice or as a relaxing snack. This dish redefines a classic, remaining familiar yet leaving a deep flavor trail.
These balado eggs are really fun because the boiled eggs are fried first so that the skin is a bit crispy, then doused with spicy red balado sauce that is blended finely from chilies, onions, shallots, and tomatoes. The taste is a combination of spicy, a little sour from the tomatoes, and a fragrant aroma from lime leaves or lemongrass—especially if you use lime leaves or lemongrass in the sauce.
Pindang Ikan Patin, a specialty of Palembang, is a spicy and sour soup with chunks of patin fish cooked in a spiced broth—pineapple, roasted candlenuts, lemongrass, galangal, ginger, and turmeric—plus shallots, garlic, tomatoes, and cayenne peppers. It is seasoned with salt, mushroom broth, and sugar, and finished with basil leaves for a fresh aroma. The sweet and sour taste of pineapple combines with the warmth of the spices and the heat of the cayenne pepper, creating a dish that is fresh, rich in flavor, and delicious when eaten warm.

Telur Bacem is a traditional Javanese dish featuring cooked eggs in a sweet and savory sauce. It's made by boiling eggs in a mixture of sweet soy sauce, brown sugar, spices such as coriander, shallots, garlic, ginger, galangal, lemongrass, and bay leaves, then cooking until the sauce reduces and the eggs are completely absorbed. The result: rich, brown eggs that are perfect as a side dish with warm rice or as a casual snack.
