Before Xiaobian introduced many Dai cuisines in the article, Dai barbecue sandwiched between bamboo sticks, sweet and soft sticky pineapple rice, tender and juicy bun roast series, fragrant and crisp fried bamboo worms, multi-process meat soft and with a hint of crispy roast beef jerky, similar to pancakes and fragrant and sweet Barada, etc., but today Xiaobian wants to focus on the most traditional and most prominent Dai characteristics of a food - lemongrass grilled fish
We often eat grilled fish in the commercial squares of the city, and often queue up, but for the editor of grilled fish enthusiasts, among the grilled fish in the north and south, lemongrass grilled fish is the No.1 of the grilled fish industry.

What is lemongrass
Lemongrass, also known as lemongrass, is a naturally lemon-scented perennial herb.
In ancient times, it was called Bao Mao, which was used to shrink wine, sacrifice the ancestors of heaven and earth, and the tribute of the Lord of the Zhou Dynasty Chu State Bao Mao, with lemongrass to Zhou Tianzi, is enough to see the importance of the local status of lemongrass.
Lemongrass has the effect of disinfecting, sterilizing and treating neuralgia and muscle pain, so it is known as the "pain-relieving swordsman".
Drinking tea with it can improve digestive function, improve stomach fat loss, can alleviate muscle and bone pain, abdominal cramps or spasms, and can deal with digestive problems; it can also treat diarrhea, colds and fevers, headaches and other discomforts.
Lemongrass grilled fish is delicious reason
After tasting the authentic lemoncholl grilled fish, Xiaobian specially searched for its method and the reason for its deliciousness, and could not help but admire the wisdom of the working people.
Lemongrass because it has a natural lemon flavor, the stems and leaves can be refined aromatic oil for flavor or medicinal use; The fish cooked in leaves avoids the fishy smell.
So although it doesn't have as much spice and heavy flavor as the commercial version of grilled fish, the grilled tilapia wrapped in lemongrass still has the slightest fishy taste and aroma.
Add in the belly of the fish natural spices such as coriander, coriander, wattle mustard, green pepper and other natural spices to make the fish feel layered and dance on your taste buds.
