Lemon grass is a tropical grass with a lemony scent and taste that's used in cooking. It is typically sold fresh, but it's also available dried and powdered. Lemon grass is common in Thai, Vietnamese, and Sri Lankan dishes, and it's also becoming popular in other cuisines. You can use lemon grass in dishes ranging from soups to desserts.

Preparing Lemon Grass

1
Keep pieces small for eating and larger for flavoring. Use the entire stalk, which will be cut and prepped in different ways depending on the dish.
- The tough, bigger pieces of lemon grass are meant to flavor dishes. These larger pieces generally are not eaten. Consider straining large pieces out before serving. However, some people enjoy sucking on them for their flavor.

Lemon grass is often coupled with coconut milk, chiles, cilantro, and garlic.

Step 2 Bruise the bulb by smashing it with the side of a wide knife or cleaver, then mince the bulb for use in a variety of recipes.

Bruising will free the aromatic oils for cooking.^{[3] X Research source}

Step 3 Add very thin slices of lemon grass to salads.

Slicing thinly breaks the stalk's tough fibers so that the pieces can be chewed and swallowed with ease.^{[4] X Research source}

Step 4 Cut the bulb diagonally in rounds measuring about 1/4 inch (.5 cm) long.

Add the rounds to stir fries.

Step 5 Slice the stalk at an angle to create sections approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) in length.

Bruise the pieces and toss them into simmered recipes such as soups.

Step 6 Make a paste by pounding thin slices of lemon grass.

Add the paste to curry dishes and other recipes.

Clean and bruise a lemon grass stalk.
Steep the stalk for 3 to 4 days in a nearly full bottle of vodka. Shake the bottle occasionally.
Take out the stalk after steeping.
