Hi,
I'm reposting this question. Hopefully, I'll get some answers this time around.
The other night I made a Thai red chicken curry with bamboo shoots and this recipe called for a few
Kaffir leaves. I used frozen leaves and they made the dish smell like soap! I thought it was just me
but my husband noticed the same.
Anybody else with the same experience? Could it be that the leaves were bad? They looked
fine, though.
I've heard so much about the wonderful scent and flavor of the Kaffir leaves...
Maybe it's just like cilantro which to some people smells/tastes like soap?
I need to know because I am introducing Asian dishes into our diet and many of them call for
Kaffir leaves.
Thanks in advance,
Iris
