Lemongrass Curry with Chicken and Potatoes
This dinner started with the Asian Vegetable I bought at the Davis Farmer's Market. I'm not exactly sure what it is called, but it is kind of a cross of chinese broccoli and bok choy. I thought about stir frying it, but when I think of stir fry, I think of soy sauce, and that didn't appeal to me. Andrea Nguyen's Into the Vietnamese Kitchen has a section called Basic Boiled Vegetable where she describes a simple method of boiling asian vegetables in plenty of salted water and serving them with a saucy dish. My version of her Chicken, Lemongrass, and Potato Curry provided the sauce.
We've had this Curry before, and Tess found it too spicy. So I let her add the heat this time and she cut the amount of Madras Curry powder in half. The result was perfect for her...spicy but not too spicy. Lisa and I really enjoyed the vegetable. Tess not so much.
