LEMON GRASS RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• Before you begin cooking, you need first to press and drain your block of firm tofu. We suggest placing the block of tofu inside a tofu press before leaving it to drain for 20 minutes. If you don't have a tofu press, then you can wrap your block of tofu in paper towels before pressing down firmly with a heavy kitchen object, such as a chopping board or cast iron wok. Again, leave your tofu to press and drain for at least 20 minutes to remove as much excess liquid as possible.
• At the same time, you will want to start preparing your rice, as this takes much longer to cook than your spicy lemongrass tofu. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and prepare your rice as per the packet's instructions.
• Once you've removed as much liquid as you can, you can chop your block of tofu into small, bite-sized cubes.
• Next, place a large skillet or wok onto the stovetop, and heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in the bottom of the pan. When the avocado oil is hot, place your tofu cubes into the oil and heat them for up to 3 minutes on each side.
• When your tofu cubes are golden brown, lower the heat and add a further drizzle of oil to the pan. You can now heat your chopped lemongrass, minced garlic, and chopped chives. Cook all the ingredients together for 1 minute.
• Now, pour in your soy sauce, oyster sauce, and maple syrup into the pan. Stir all of the ingredients together and allow the sauce to cook through for 1 or 2 minutes on low heat.
• Remove your lemongrass tofu stir fry from the pan and serve with rice and some extra chopped parsley or a dash of chili sauce for garnish!

Steps:

• Wash the fresh lemongrass under running water. Clean and cut them into small pieces using a pair of sharp scissors.
• Pour water in a saucepan and bring it to boil.
• Add the small pieces of lemongrass to it and cover it with a lid.
• Let the mixture boil for another 10-15 mins. The duration entirely depends on how strong you wish your tea to be.
• Using a strainer, strain the tea in your favorite cup.
• Add some sweetener like sugar, honey, or maple syrup, as per your preference. You may also add some herbs or spices like lime, anise, ginger, mint, or cinnamon to suit your taste buds. Now, sit back, relax and enjoy your hot drink!
• If you'd like to have a chilled beverage, let the tea cool down and refrigerate it. Garnish it with some lime or lemongrass and serve it chilled!
