What is it?
Lemongrass, a stiff grass native to India, is widely used as a herb in Asian cuisine. Evergreen in warm climates, lemongrass is a sharp-bladed, perennial, blue-green grass that grows in 3- to 6-foot-tall cascading clumps.
This citrusy plant plays a starring role in many Southeast-Asian cuisines, adding its unique flavor to everything from curries to cold drinks. Not long ago, it was nearly impossible to find, except in Asian markets. But these days, lemongrass is going mainstream, making its way into the produce section of your supermarket.
除了在厨房中的用途外,它还被药物珍视作为一种疗法,以解决各种疾病,从胃部麻烦和发烧到抑郁症。顾名思义,它具有柑橘香气和柠檬味。它可以干燥,粉末或新鲜。
如何选择:
柠檬草的大部分味道都集中在其下部类似甘蔗的茎上,这就是为什么大多数市场已经将它们卖给了它们的绿叶顶部,仅留下了一些短而尖刺的叶片。寻找坚固,浅绿色的茎,带有脂肪,球形的底部和合理的外观上衣(它们可能有点干燥,但不应被干燥或发黄)。
如何准备:
用柠檬草烹饪有两种主要方法,每个方法都决定了如何处理。至注入茶,汤,汤和炖液体,修剪尖顶的顶部和底部,用刀的侧面压碎茎以释放芳香油,然后将其切成1或2英寸的碎片。进食前去除碎片(它们往往是木本)或在周围吃饭。
至use lemongrass在腌泡汁中,炒菜,沙拉,香料擦和咖喱酱,修剪茎的顶部和底部 - 您只想使用底部的4英寸左右。然后将任何干燥或坚硬的外层剥落,然后再切碎或切碎。柠檬草煮得越长,柠檬草可容纳长时间的烹饪并获得强度。如果您想要浓烈的柠檬草味,请在烹饪开始时添加碎柠檬草,并将其与其他芳香剂一起褐色。要获得更轻,更新鲜的柠檬草的味道,请在烹饪的尽头添加。
尽管柠檬草的茎长一英尺或更长,但几乎所有的味道都包含在茎的底部5英寸左右。为了达到这种风味,请切掉茎的较薄的顶部和非常木质的底部。然后剥去更坚固的外层,以进入茎的更嫩的部分。(You can use all these scraps to make a soothing herbal tea; steep them in boiling water for 5 minutes, then strain.) Even after peeling, lemongrass is quite fibrous, and it’s best to either use it whole to infuse flavor and then remove it, or chop it very finely. To make chopping it easier, use a sharp knife and slice it into thin rounds first.
如何存储:
要存放,用塑料包裹并冷藏两到三周,或冷冻长达六个月。
