I had already planned to make lettuce wraps for lunch today because I had the butter lettuce on hand, but I came across this recipe last night and thought it would be a good way to switch up an old favorite. I was totally right! This recipe is amazing and I'm happy to be introduced to lemongrass - what a delicious flavor. This is definitely a great alternative to the wraps I usually make and it may become my go-to lunch when I have the ingredients on hand.
Things I learned from this recipe:
There is no replacement for lemongrass. Some suggestions were a combinations of ginger/lemon/lime. I decided at the last minute to make a trip to Whole Foods to purchase it and I'm glad I did. It has such a distinct flavor and there is no way lemon/lime would've been a good substitute.
Would I make this recipe again?
Absolutely
