Lemongrass - How to Use Lemongrass in Your Cooking

Because lemongrass is so firm and fibrous, it helps to process the slices a little further. Place the lemongrass in a food processor (or chopper) and process well on "high", OR pound for a minute or two with a pestle & mortar.

(Note: It's possible to use the lemongrass slices as they are, but the thicker slices will be difficult to eat- your guests will end up spitting them out.)
