I fell in love with Thai food the first time I went to my local Thai restaurant. But when I went to the library to replicate it, it seemed beyond me. But I took a class from a local chef, and it now seems simple enough. I found this recipe in the cookbook Quick & Easy Thai Cuisine Lemon Grass Cookbook. I've noticed that this cookbook is a lot too heavy with the fish sauce, so I cut it in 1/2 for this recipe. Even then, it may be too salty. . .
