How to Get the Recipe: 5 Delicious Ways to Use Fresh Lemongrass

Instructions:

1. Hit the lemongrass stalks with the back of the knife to release oils.
2. Cut off the bottom root end of each stalk.
3. Peel away the tough outer layers to reveal the tender, pale interior.
4. For minced lemongrass: thinly slice the lemongrass into small coins, then chop these coins into finer pieces.
5. For chunks: slice the stalk into 2-inch sticks, suitable for flavoring broths.
6. For thin slices: cut the stalk into very thin rings for use in salads or garnishes.
7. If not using immediately, store prepared lemongrass in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
