[Restaurant Recipe] 9021Pho Lemongrass Chicken

                       

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to try out a restaurant that has quickly become a staple in Beverly Hills. 9021Pho is the creation of Chef Kimmy Tang offering Vietnamese cuisine with a French and Californian twist.
Master Chef Kimmy Tang has lived in various countries and traveled around the world to study the traditional recipes of cultures, including France and her home country Vietnam. 
Kimmy is SUCH a delight to be around and her food speaks volumes to the passion she has for not just cooking, but for life! 
Check out the recipe below and go try out more of her yumminess over at the Beverly Hills & Westlake Village locations!
