nouilles au citron kaffir

http://www.asiafood.org/glossary_1.cfm?alpha=K

The picture alone is worth looking at. The page also lists the names by which this fruit is known in Burma, Cambodia, China, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Thailand. Needless to say, the fruit is quite distinct from the ordinary citron vert. Here is an excerpt from a recipe using citron kaffir:

Ingrédients:

...

4 feuilles de citron kaffir, coupées en fines lamières

Enjoy!
