Oh this was so helpful as I'm new to using Lemongrass and its now my absolutely favourite herb/seasoning - I'm Indian btw and I like to add a little bit to Indian food - so yummy

My squash partner just gave me a bunch of home-grown lemongrass and I have no idea what to do with it, so this video was a big help. Very clear, comprehensive and concise. Thanks!

Next time you get a bunch you can mince & freeze it! Then make a Thai marinade for your chicken wings!

I love lemongrass! When I was traveling in Bangkok, I found many coolers filled with wash cloths infused with lemongrass. When I used one to wipe my face, I would take a deep breath just to smell the aroma. Love love love the aroma of lemongrass. I recently found a few stocks at my local Asia market, in the produce section. I put it into a jar with about an inch of water. In about a week, I saw roots! I than planted in a pot. I have long leaves now to make lemongrass tea, and many other dishes that call for it. Thank you Pai & Adam, for all the time you spend on gathering all the information and supplies needed in making your videos.

Lemongrass is called "Fever Grass" or "Razor Grass" in Trinidad & Tobago. The top portions (including the sharp blades) can be steeped in hot water, and makes a very pleasant tea, that's good if you have a fever. It really is very fragrant, and I love its strong flavour in my Tom Yum Goong :) Great explanation video!

We do the same thing in Africa, P Latchman .

Btw lemongrass grows like a weed, take one stalk, stick it in the ground and it'll grow and multiply. If you live in a place where winters are harsh, plant it in a pot and bring it inside during the winter. Fresh lemongrass, free and whenever you need it.

Lemongrass is easier to grow than rosemary, lol, you should try it. 😉

Easy peasy to grow here in Northern California and is a nice landscape addition.Ours typically grow to 5-6 feet diameter next to Thai Basil, Thai peppers.

In Malaysia we often keep lemon grass in chiller, soaked in jar of filtered water. It can last a month and still fresh like new. You should try 😊

We use lemongrass a lot in Sri Lankan food too in the North, same with Kaffir Lime Leaves

Your pragmatism is very refreshing! Really enjoying your show. thank you so much! 😊

Thank you for this wonderful channel. You have taken the mystery out cooking with Asian ingredients. You are so professional and thorough with your presentation, yet just adorable.I look forward to trying some of these recipes.

Pailin, thank you for all your recipes from all different Asian cuisines. The recipes are all user friendly and of course delicious. And don't ever lose that beautiful smile and attitude.

All the videos I've watched from Pai are excellent so I've gotten in the habit of "liking" it as soon as I start watching, lest I forget to do so.

Wonderful, informative video, as always. I would add, as a few others have, that lemongrass is very easy to grow and is an attractive accent plant in any garden. It also well in a pot, so having your own plant is even an option for an apartment dweller. I grow a patch every summer then dig it up in the fall and freeze some to last through the winter.

Lemongrass tea is delicious 😋! After watching I am inspired to freeze some from my garden. Thanks!

When I don't have fresh lemongrass I use essential oil of lemongrass, but an ever so tiny amount--like 1/2 drop. It doesn't break down over longer cooking times but imparts the lovely aroma of lemongrass. Be careful not to use more than a drop or less! I use a toothpick to deliver the oil.

Great video! I've always wondered how to use it at home. Thanks!

Your presentation is so clear and understandable, thank you very much!

Videos like this with many generous tips aren't too many out there. Thanks.

My mom and I love lemongrass in chicken, it's so yummy 😍 congrats on 400k Pai, thanks for all the recipes!!

Loved your videos. As always, learned something new.

I had lemongrass/mushroom soup starter at a local Thai restaurant Called "Thai Me Up" . The soup came and it was clear with green onion on top. I thought it looked bland at first, but holy heck it was a flavor explosion! It was so delicious I could not get over it! I have been trying to find a copycat of it since. I did search through your videos and hope there is something similar to that here somewhere. Still binge watching! Love your stuff!

Great video I'm from Trinidad and Tobago and we love Lemongrass aka Fever grass for tea. I love all the great health benefits it has. It helps me with digestive problems

Lemongrass is divine. I absolutely love it.

Wonderful tips! Thank you!

Great content. This was probably the third video I found but this was the most descriptive. I appreciate all the camera shots. Subscribed!

Thanks for this! The best lemon grass video! :)

Very generous as well as very helpful tips!!. Great job and you appear to have a very refined palate given you're descriptions of flavour profiles.

Thank you Pailin its very useful information and I learned more to love it.

Thanks for some info on lemongrass.. I usually boil it in water n drink like hot tea.. some says it's good to lower cholesterol, lower sugar level n many more... Thanks also for all the good recipes you shared.. God bless you more😘😘😘😘

Thank you for all your great information!

Thank you so much for this information. I needed to buy lemongrass for a soup, but was not sure how to use it. Now I know.

I like very much you channel and how you explain about ingredients, recipes...Im from the Dominican Republic, we use lemon grass leaves for infusions and it taste great, try it.

I love your video and I like you speak english. I like the way you help how to cook Thai foods.

Lemongrass reminds me of the best lemon you could ever imagine. It's like lemon at its best lemon it's best self! I could use it everyday. Yum!

Sooooo informative thank you so much 🙏

SO HELPFUL!

Thank you for the lesson with lemon grass. I had no idea and made the twice cooked chicken recipe which called for the lemon grass. I'll have to remake it even better now.

Yeaaaas...Lemongraaas! We use lemongrass quite a lot....thanks for the info Hot Pai!

I saw this for the first time in my store. I knew where to come for info.

Thanks for the lovely video 😍👍👍

Vietnamese, we called Sa. So good😋ty for the tips. It’s great in my grill porkchops but I grind up in a paste.

thank you so much. walking passed lemon grass for decades wondering what it was all about.Was hesitant to try it .Soon will buy it, as if I know what it is. Sincerely thank you.

She has an intensive knowledge.... on every single ingredient of Thai cuisine

this is a good content vid, informative...

How i use lemongrass in a special dessert, you have to try this its sooo good. Finely shopped lemongrass mixed with yes popcorn and Thai basil, add the mix in top of a Creme Brûlée. I have so much success in my restaurant with this 👌

It was helpful.. Thank you!

Thanks Palin! Helpful video! Lemongrass is easy to grow too. . . in Los Angeles

Great video! I have had great success growing lemon grass here in Houston. My Kaffir lime tree is also doing extremely well. Thai basil is another Thai staple that is a fast grower here. No substitute for fresh produce. I would like to grow galangal but have not been able to find fresh galangal (only frozen). If any of your viewers are growing fresh galangal or have access, and are reading this, I would love to get some so I can add it to my garden.

Love lemon grass with peppers.

In Mexico my mom used to boil the green leaves to make tea, it was delicious 😋!

Thank you Pai for sharing some tips about lemongrass. In the Philippines it's called "TANGLAD". I hope u can share your own version of TINOLA (chicken soup) using lemon grass in Thai way. Looking forward more videos & tip from your channel.

Good Information ! Thank You !

Informative ‼️

Thanks for that Video. I learnd something. Great Channel btw :-)

Well you got a new sub. I just bought my first lemon grass right now at the store hoho.

Lemongrass 101. Thanks Pailin!

I love lemongrass tea,it's hard to find the fresh lemongrass the place where I live so I use dried one, the longer I simmer it the better results it give.

this was super helpful. You mentioned, that you use part of the lemon grass for tea, will you do a video about that?

I grow lemon grass in my yard but we only use the leaves for tea and it has an awesome taste my mom drinks this tea most days. But I would love to see some recipes with this awesome plant.

Thank you so much--very helpful. Celeste

my mom just uses them for tea, and it's deliciuosssss

Thank you Pailin

thanks for this

very nice. thanks.

Hi Pailin, can you please make a video on kaffir lime leaves? And if we can you use dried, also on galangal please ? And can you make a video on Thai squid salad pleaaaaase ? Thank you so so much

Thank you for this!!! Could you do s video on how to make lemongrass tea?

I have a friend from Vietnam who puts it in a mortar and pestle or a food processor and grinds it up and then freezes it in ice cube trays. It is completely edible then. Oh most of the time she also adds a bunch of garlic ground up with the lemongrass.

Thank you.

Thank you for this video. I grew lemongrass for the first time this year - super easy to grow! Could you please make more recipe videos using lemongrass?

I typically grow two lemongrass plants each year - one to harvest in the Fall and one to save for the next year. The temperatures here in North Carolina aren't conducive to keeping it outside year-round (it can't take freezing temperatures or frost) so one of the plants gets pretty radically trimmed, dug up, put it in a largish pot, and then put in our (heated) greenhouse. Once Spring arrives, I'll divide it and put it back into the ground. I tried growing some in a pot this past season, but the results were underwhelming as compared to being in the ground. The plants like it hot and wet (go figure). For me, freezing is the go-to solution for long term storage and usage.

Just bought my first lemongrass ever :)

I just bought a squeeze tube of lemongrass cuz I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Asian style soups ,particularly the broth. I never used lemongrass but I have a little idea what it does.

Thanks for sharing ur recipes could u do a recipe on tom jiw?

Awesome video! Very informative. Now I'm mot afraid to buy lemongrass haha

Lemongrass Is,Delicious. 😊

Thanks for the tips, My Thai wife uses it and I'm not a fan of the flavor it reminds me of Pine Sol for some reason. There is a recipe using a whole chicken I want to try and it requires Lemon Grass, the good news is there is a few other ingredients that should help make this recipe very tasty. Fingers crossed. Be well.

Can you show us how to make Thai lemon grass ice tea? It’s one of my favorite drinks but I not sure how to make it haha 🙈 The ones I make taste so differently than the ones in Thailand..Thank you!

you can use and random bits like root etc in tea mixes

Excellent! Now you're obliged to do ALL the basic ingredients...the trinities of this and the trinities of that.. we'll be seeing more of you then!😊 keep it comin'... you're spreading good cheer! The world needs that!🙄 cheers!

so educational! can you make a FAQ video about palm sugar? i got a huge hard disk and am not sure what to do with it lol. they don't have it in granule form where I'm at 😭

Lemongrass milk tea 👌🏻💚

Oh pai can you make a video of your own version of laksa :)

Nice to meet you.

Hi Pailin, I love all of your videos. Can you make some videos on the various chili sauces? I've seen multiple chili sauces at Thai restaurants, like satay, chili oil, chili in fish sauce, and chili in vinegar.

how have I not found your channel before

Lemongrass here is cheap.. it's actually free, it grows everywhere! Lol western culinary makes it complicated... we just smash it, fold it, tie it... then toss it in a soup... its very good in roasted chicken and pig( lechon)... yum yum

Thank you, Pailin. Very useful. Please consider providing the actual Thai script as well as the romanized version of the names of things. Perhaps a few characters at least might stick in memory for someone.

Buy a stick. Trim a few millimeters from the stem and set in a glass of water in a warm sunny place until it shoots new roots then plant it (even in a large pot). In a couple of months you will have a large plant and you won't need to pay those ridiculous prices again. I'm living in Sydney at the moment and it grows easily!

i just used lemongrass at home for the first time in a small city in India with my parents and i sliced the bottom and put the entire thing in the pot along with ginger, jaggery and cardamom and it turned out pretty nice....i put water in it again for a 2nd round and that worked well too...also..the host so beautiful...east asian women are just so good...even better than lemon grass lol...

I didn't know that. Wrapping the lemongrass in aluminum foil will extend it life. Hey, learned something today. Thank from Gatlinburg, East Tennessee. We do get snow from December to February. One week of snow off and on, everything is dead.

hi pailin , please make a video on palm sugar.

I'm thinking the root end can be put in a glass of water and roots will grow, then plant in garden. Lemon grass is a perennial in zones 4-9 of USA. It can also be grown in a pot and moved in doors when freezing temps happen.

Do you have beat recipe for crab cake, pad thai, pork salad? I love thai food as long as it’s not too spicy 😁. Thanks.

I would love some chicken with lemon grass soup

In sri lanka we use lemongrass only for meat currys

I buy it frozen in it's whole unprocessed form. The brand is a Thai one and I always have succes with using it in any Thai dish. I used to buy it fresh, but in the store it sits for too long sometimes wich makes the lemon grass less fresh. The frozen whole ones are always very prety.

Thank you Pailin, awesome video as always :) Small question off topic, hope you can help me out. I often have the problem that I buy Thai Basil for a nice curry but cannot use all of it by far and I end up throwing it away :/ Do you have simple and quick recipes in which I could use the left over basil? Thank you so much already!

Would be great if you could list dishes which use lemongrass. Or whatever you are reviewing. As sometimes ive bought some ingredient but it ends up in bin because i don't know what else i could use it for. So maybe write a list where eg lemongrass is used that way when we find the ingredient, if we have some left over, we'd be able to use it for another dish. Same goes for tamarind, kefir lime leaves and etc

Hi! I was recently in Thailand and brought home a packet of dried lemongrass powder. Fresh is pricey in my area. Would love to know how to substitute it in cooking. Thanks =)

What about if you’re making a sauce? There’s a banh mi cafe I go to which make the best lemongrass tofu and mock chicken Bahn mi, and the sauce is ridiculously delicious and golden in colour. I’d love to know how to make a sauce like it.
