This is lemongrass. It is a wonderful herb that adds a delicate flavor to foods. Here's a little primer in case you don't know how to chop and store lemongrass. According to Andrea Nguyen of VietWorldKitchen, it is ok to freeze lemongrass. I will try it and let you know. I will also ask Hong's mom. Hong is one of my best friends --we've been best friends for almost 30 years! Her mom, Rosalie, is an excellent cook and one of my favorite people ever. She is certainly an authority on all foods Vietnamese --I will let you know what she says.
Remove any damaged outer leaves and cut off tough root end.
Ready for the freezer!
