Note from Ricardo

Lemongrass stalks that have been cut and preserved in water can be found in some grocery stores. They are more tender than fresh stalks and easier to cut.

Don’t hesitate to replace chicken thighs with the same amount of leftover chicken or turkey. Even if the latter is already cooked, follow the same steps suggested in the recipe for delicious meat and broth.
