💡 Lemongrass is a fragrant Thai herb with a fresh, citrus-like aroma and a light herbal flavor. It is widely used in Thai cuisine, especially in soups, curries, and stir-fried dishes, to add freshness and balance rich or spicy flavors.
How to Choose
Choose lemongrass stalks that are firm and fresh, with pale green to light yellow bases. The stalks should not be dry or shriveled, and they should release a strong, clean aroma when lightly pressed.
How to Use
Trim off the root end and tough outer layers, then bruise the stalk or slice it before cooking to release its aroma. Lemongrass is mainly used to infuse flavor and is usually removed before serving. It is essential in dishes like tom yum, tom kha, and many Thai curries.
