Ingredients for Thai Lemongrass Rice
Rice- Jasmine rice is used for authentic Thai flavor. Any long-grain rice, such as Basmati rice, etc., can be used. Leftover rice can be used for a quick weeknight meal. Lemongrass, Garlic cloves, Ginger, Lemon zest, and Onion add aroma to the rice. Green chilies add spiciness to the dish. Traditionally, Thai Brid Eye chilies are used. Can be substituted with serrano peppers, jalapenos, etc. Soya sauce and Worcestershire sauce add tanginess, sweetness, and an umami flavor to the dish. I have used vegan-certified sauces in my dish. Soy sauce can be substituted with fish sauce, and Worcestershire sauce can be replaced with Oyster sauce. Butter adds a nutty flavor to the rice. It can be substituted by vegetable oil for a vegan version. Coriander leaves and Green onions - for garnish. Use any herbs of your choice.
