🌿 What Are Fresh Thai Lemongrass Stalks?

Lemongrass is a tropical herb recognised by its long, firm green stalks and distinctive lemon-like fragrance.

Despite its citrus aroma, lemongrass isn’t related to lemons. Its characteristic fragrance comes from naturally occurring aromatic compounds within the stalk.

Fresh Thai Lemongrass Stalks are particularly useful in Thai and Southeast Asian cooking, where they pair beautifully with coconut milk, chilli, ginger, garlic, lime and coriander.

🍜 Soups & broths

🔪 How to Prepare Fresh Thai Lemongrass Stalks

Fresh Thai Lemongrass Stalks need a little preparation before cooking.

1. Rinse the stalk thoroughly under cold running water.
2. Remove any dry or tough outer leaves.
3. Trim the very bottom of the root end.
4. Remove the tougher green upper section when only the tender lower stalk is required.
5. Lightly bash or bruise the stalk with the flat side of a knife to release its aroma.
6. Slice very finely when adding lemongrass directly to curries, sauces or stir-fries.

🌿 For soups and curries:
Bruise the stalk and cut it into larger sections. Simmer in the dish to release its flavour, then remove before serving if it remains tough.

🥢 For curry pastes and marinades:
Use the softer lower section and slice very finely before chopping, pounding or blending.

🍵 For herbal tea:
Bruise and cut the stalk before simmering in water to release its citrus fragrance.

Remove any dry or tough outer layers before using the softer inner stalk.

Can you make tea with fresh lemongrass?

Can fresh lemongrass be frozen?

Do you remove lemongrass after cooking?

Large bruised pieces used to flavour soups, broths and curries are normally removed before serving because they can remain fibrous.
