Lemongrass, Remove outer leaves of the lemongrass and finely slice the tender white part at the base of the stalk

Bruise on the cutting board with a large morter and pestle or handle of a cleaver, or a wine bottle

Of course a cuisinart with a 1mm slicer will do the same thing but sometimes smashing is good

Fish Sauce, Nuoc Mam brand name is Tiparos from Thailand
- 6
Fish sauce can be from Vietnam or Cambodia and should be tasted to determine the saltiness and the taste
- 7
Some of the fish sauce is cloudy and unfiltered, I would avoid such products

The best fish sauce is tea colored and semi-clear to coffee colored
