Hand Brand Dried Lemongrass 50g

Dried Lemongrass for Fragrant Thai Cooking

Hand Brand Dried Lemongrass is a 50g pack of dried lemongrass, a familiar aromatic herb used in East and South East Asian cooking. Its fresh, citrus like character brings a bright fragrance to dishes, while the dried form is easy to keep in the kitchen cupboard and use when a recipe calls for lemongrass. It is a useful ingredient for cooks who enjoy building flavour from herbs and spices, whether you are preparing a comforting bowl of soup or adding another layer to a home cooked curry.

Lemongrass is valued for its distinctive aroma and its place in Thai inspired recipes. Keep a pack ready alongside your other Asian cooking ingredients for a simple way to add a recognisable herbal note. Explore more from our Thai food range when planning a meal with flavours from the region. This is a straightforward dried herb, so it can be added to a dish while it cooks and allowed to infuse its aroma into the surrounding broth or sauce.

How to Use Dried Lemongrass in Meals and Tea

Add dried lemongrass to soups, curries, broths or slow simmered dishes when you want a fragrant citrus note. The herb can steep in the cooking liquid as the other ingredients come together. If the pieces remain firm after cooking, remove them before serving, as dried herbs can be less tender than fresh ingredients. Start with a small amount, taste the dish as it cooks, and adjust according to your recipe and preference. This gives you control over the fragrance without letting one ingredient take over the plate.

The product listing also describes lemongrass as suitable for herbal tea. For a simple infusion, place some dried lemongrass in hot water and allow it to steep, then strain before drinking if the pieces are loose. Follow any preparation guidance printed on the pack, as the listing does not give a measured serving or steeping time. You can also pair lemongrass with ingredients already called for in a recipe, such as ginger, garlic or chilli, without treating those suggestions as ingredients in this pack. Browse our Asian spices for other pantry staples, or serve a fragrant curry with rice for an easy meal idea.

For a balanced dish, think about where the lemongrass fits among the other flavours in your recipe. Add it early enough for its aroma to mingle with the cooking liquid, then taste before serving and adjust the seasoning according to your usual method. In a soup, it can contribute a fragrant background note; in a curry or stew, it can sit alongside the sauce and vegetables without needing to be the only flavour in the bowl. For tea, keep the infusion simple at first so you can judge the strength you prefer. The online details do not specify a serving size or exact preparation method, so use the pack instructions where provided and follow the proportions in your chosen recipe. These ideas are flexible ways to use a dried herb, not a claim about additional ingredients or a guaranteed result.
