A CLOSER LOOK
How to recognize it
A clumping aromatic grass with long light-green blades and firm, layered basal stalks that release a lemon-like scent when crushed.
In the kitchen
Used for Dai grilled fish, pork ribs and stir-fried chicken.
Trimmed stalks can be chopped or grated; paste is a finer prepared form. In one Dai preparation, fish is grilled with a handful of the aromatic grass.
