For the chicken:
• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 teaspoon mushroom seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
For the stir-fry:

Thank you for your message! I'm glad you noticed how easily I cut lemongrass. One tip that can make the process easier is to first remove the tough outer layers of the lemongrass stalk. Then, use a sharp knife to slice the remaining inner portion into thin rounds or chop it into smaller pieces as desired. Having a sharp knife can definitely make a big difference when it comes to cutting lemongrass. It can also be helpful to use a cutting board with a little bit of grip or a damp towel underneath to prevent the lemongrass from slipping around. With a little practice and the right technique, cutting lemongrass can become much easier!
