To save time, I like to prepare a large quantity of lemongrass and freeze it so I can just grab some from the freezer. I usually buy at least 4 pounds and follow these simple steps:
  1. Follow steps #1 and #2 from how to Mince Lemongrass. Next, slice off the green, fibrous parts of the stalk at the top with a sharp ser-rated knife. Feed the bulb ends through the food processor blade until sliced. Remove the sliced lemongrass and mince by hand.
  2. Place minced lemongrass in a quart-sized resealable plastic food-storage bag, about ½ cup (50 g) per bag, and flatten. Once frozen, break off whatever you need for future recipes and return the rest to the freezer.
