Thank you, G, so pleased you found it useful!
Thank you Lin. I've been living alone for 15 years now and have no choice but to cook for myself as eating out is expensive. I learned how to cook with my sister's help - she's in England (via computer). I've always wondered what lemongrass in Malay - looked up Google and found out just now. You just mentioned it too. Never really used lemongrass but I know it's good for so many ailments. Plus it gives the food a better taste. But I've watched so many videos and only two of you actually gave a clear picture of how exactly to use it. I'm off to the market in a while and lemongrass is top on the list along with garlic and ginger. Thanks again. Most chefs take for granted that we all know how to cook everything.

Lemongrass is a main ingredient in SouthEast Asian soups. Trust me, next time u make chicken soup, add a stalk of lemongrass. Game changer.
Just love the flavor amd aroma of lemongrass. Such an informative video as to how to use it. I use the top part of lemongrass daily in my tea.

Thank you, Poonam. Sorry I missed this comment!
I still use the top grassy parts of my lemongrass for infusions rings. I just take a few strands and wrap them into a wreath which goes either in my teapot or lower part of my water filter jug. Alternatively the ring can go into a soup stock to impart some lemongrass flavour and it's still easy to remove, kind of like using bay leaves.

We use the lemon grass leaves. We don’t eat it we use it as flavoring for grilled chicken and pork.

That's great. And do you use the bulbous end too? That's where most of the flavour is concentrated.
I grew a nice bunch of lemongrass this year.. and have no clue how to use it 😂

Galangal. You can read more in this article on my blog: www.singaporeanmalaysianrecipes.com/what-is-galangal-how-to-make-galangal-paste/ I'll be doing a quick video about it in the next few weeks.
I used to have a Lemongrass Plant and tried to use it a couple times. The stems were very spindly and nothing like what you show. Now I'm told there are different kinds of Lemongrass and that the ones from India and another Country are the best for cooking. It suggested that other kinds are more for landscaping or something. Where can good Lemongrass be purchased?
@AzlinBloor

Hi there, there are many types of lemongrass, you're right. The culinary kind is best bought from a food shop or supermarket. How easy it is to find depends on where you live, I guess. Here in the UK, it is as common as garlic and onions now, and found everywhere. If you have a Chinese shop around you, they might stock it. Otherwise, your best bet is to go online.
What is the best way in a sorbet for a dessert? To make it to a puree? Or to just crush it like you did at let it be in the sugarwater to give the water lemongrass flavour?
@AzlinBloor

The answer boils down to preference. Lemongrass has such a strong aroma, if you puree it before adding, it may be too strong for some people, depending on what other flavours you are adding. If I were making it, I'd just add 1 or 2 bruised lemongrass to the liquid as you're heating up the sugar. This depends on the amount. Then leave it to cool, and remove before placing in the freezer.

I went to your samba... Recipe and could not watch as another video popped up I could not get rid of and something else took over the screen for me to order that had no way, that I could find, to get it off the screen and I did not want to order it. I might not be too techie savvy, however I was not able to like or subscribe as a result

That's a shame, Shash. It's a constant balancing act between the right number of ads, revenue and user experience. There is always a small X in the top right hand corner of anything that pops up.
