Anyone looking back at what I’ve cooked can immediately see I’m relatively carnivorous. I like my meat. However, both of my siblings are vegetarian – one is even vegan and I’ve often eaten at a vegan restaurant. On my most recent grocery shopping I saw some fake chicken and beef and thought I’d give it a try.

Previously playing with lemongrass chicken, I was curious about how something else would go. I’ve got three types of frozen meat in my freezer – chicken, beef, and salmon. Some day I might add some pork to the freezer bags… but anyways…
Chicken is nice for this because it doesn’t have much flavor. There is no conflict of flavor in there. Beef on the other hand has its own flavor. This is often a good thing, and in the lemongrass beef, it wasn’t a bad thing. But it wasn’t a particularly good thing either.

Common to Thai food is lemongrass. Occasionally you see lemongrass at some trendy place, and I knew it was supposed to have a lemon flavor to it, so I wanted to play with it.
