1 teaspoon canola oil
3 stalks lemongrass, finely minced, white part only
1/2 tablespoon gingerroot, minced

1 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 tablespoon Smart Balance butter spread or butter
salt and black pepper

Directions

1
In a medium pan saute lemongrass, ginger and shallot until soft, about 5 minutes.

This was our first time using lemongrass. It's very difficult to find. We made this to specs, sugar included. After tasting we decided to omit the salt and felt it needed to be sweeter, so we added the black pepper and 2 tbsp of honey. It was too thick for the food processor so we strained it in a cheesecloth. We poured it over baked chicken breasts and also on some carrots which gave them a delicious flavor as well. The lemongrass flavor is strong, but once strained, it mellows out to perfection. Maito, thanks so much for sharing this recipe and giving us the chance to try a new ingredient. ~2Bleu

Very tasty! It was a tad sweet for my liking but will just cut down on the sugar a bit next time. I served it over boneless/skinless chicken breasts and it was great. Thanks for another fantastic recipe Maito!
