Charred Khao Soi with Lemongrass

Method

1. Build a hot grill and oil the grates well.

2. Season the khao soi with vegetable oil and let it come up toward room temperature.

3. Grill over direct heat, turning once, until nicely charred and cooked to your liking.

4. Brush with garlic in the last minutes so it glazes without burning.

5. Rest a few minutes, then finish with tamarind paste and a squeeze of acidity.
