LEMON GRASS PORK LOIN WITH RICE NOODLES

Lemon grass is one of my favorite herbs to cook with. These stalks are very commonly used in Southeast Asian kitchen. From just flavoring dishes to actually being eaten. This lemon grass pork loin with rice noodles uses chopped lemon grass. I know it’s a bit hard to imagine eating this hard woody stalks, but trust me, once you trim off the ends and chopped it up, it’s actually blend pretty well with the dishes that you cook with. It used to be you need to go to Asian grocery store to find fresh or frozen lemon grass here in the U.S. That’s not the case anymore. Many major chain grocery stores now carry this aromatic herb. So, really…no more excuses for not trying 😉

This is another super easy dish. Well, forgive me if I keep saying super easy. Perhaps it is easy to me because I came from Southeast Asian background and I’m familiar with most ingredients used in Southeast Asian cooking. I have to admit some of the ingredients are pretty difficult to find or impossible to find. But not these. All the ingredients here can be easily purchased at major grocery store. Try it and you might like it. We do love it !!
