Lemongrass, a long lemon-scented grass, is popular for flavouring curries and soups in Southeast Asian cuisine. Only the pale lower portion of the stem, with the tough outer layers peeled away, is used for cooking. If lemongrass is unavailable, 2โ3 strips of thinly peeled lemon zest can be used as a substitute.
