A few years ago, a friend and former colleague of mine introduce me to this amazing dish at a local restaurant. The Lemongrass Chicken is typically served with rice but she recommended substituting it for Yakisoba Noodles – genius!! It comes with a tangy, unique fish sauce that goes so well with the chicken AND the noodles.
