Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

Opt for a 4cm piece of ginger. I use the bottom 3-4cm of a lemon grass stem, or look for jars of chopped lemon grass in the spices aisle plus add finely diced fresh hot chilli for extra flavour. Chicken or pork also goes well with this recipe and cooking oil for shallow frying.
