Lemongrass Chicken

Serves 4
2 T oil (could probably get away with less)
2 T garlic (chopped finely or paste)
3 Thai chilies, split
1 c chopped onions (white or bottoms of green onions)
2 tsp chicken bullion powder (although cubes would probably work)
1/3 c lemon grass puree (made from blending 1/2 stalk lemongrass with 1/2 c water and straining out solids)
1 c cubed boneless chicken
1/2 c chopped cilantro
6 mushrooms, quartered
2 tsp lemon juice
1.5 T brown sugar
2 tsp fish sauce (Prawn brand was recommended)
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 c green onion tops

Heat oil and add garlic and chilies. Saute for a minute or so. Add onion and saute 3-5 minutes on high. Add buillion, lemon grass puree, and chicken cubes stir, and bring to boil. Add cilantro, mushrooms, lemon juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, pepper, and onion greens. Cook 3-5 more minutes. Add salt if necessary (probably won't be).

Serve with steamed rice. Yummmm!
