If you are looking for an alternative to lemongrass, you have to reckon with the fact that the taste cannot be replaced 1:1. Lemongrass has a very unique flavor that few options can match.
Replace lemongrass: These alternatives are available
Lemongrass is a tasty herb that goes particularly well with Asian soups or curry dishes. In terms of taste, the lemongrass enchants with a lemony freshness with a slightly bitter note. At the same time, you can also taste sweet, flowery notes when eating it. Because lemongrass has that special aroma, it’s not that easy to substitute.
- If you don’t have fresh lemongrass at home, it’s a good idea to have a supply of lemongrass powder. There are hardly any differences in taste and the spice has a longer shelf life.
- You can also use lemongrass paste. In terms of taste, it also comes very close to fresh lemongrass.
- Note: Completely replacing the unique taste of lemongrass is extremely difficult.
- If necessary, you can also use grated lemon zest. Use half a teaspoon of this.
- Alternatively, you can try it with lemon balm.
