Lemongrass Limeade Recipes

LEMONGRASS-LIME LEAF

Steps:

• Combine citrus zest, lime leaves, lemongrass, and 2 cups water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Strain lemongrass mixture into a jar and chill. Fill a 12 ounce glass with ice cubes. Add 2 tablespoons lemongrass mixture and 1 tablespoon simple syrup. Top with soda water (about 1/2 cup) and stir to combine. Repeat to make 11 more sodas.

LEMON LIMEADE

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, heat the sugar and 2 cups water until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is hot. Allow to cool, and then place into a large drink dispenser or jug. Add the lemon juice and lime juice and stir. Fill with ice and top with 1 gallon (16 cups) cold water. Add the lemon and lime slices.

SEAFOOD WITH LEMONGRASS

Steps:

• Place the lemon juice, fish sauce, chili powder, sugar and chicken stock or fish broth in a saute pan and bring to a boil. Add the scallops and cook over high heat, stirring for about 3 minutes or until the scallops are opaque. The liquid should be considerably reduced.
• Add the lime leaf, lemongrass, shallot and scallion slices and cook for about a minute, stirring continuously. Put in the coriander and toss the mixture briefly.
• Serve immediately on a bed of lettuce leaves.

LEMONGRASS AND LIME THAI NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon peanut oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add lemongrass, lime juice, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes; heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add onion; cook and stir until soft, about 5 minutes. Add remaining 1 tablespoon peanut oil and tofu; stir-fry until tofu is lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
• Combine water, chicken stock, coconut milk, soy sauce, fish sauce, and brown sugar in a large pot; bring to a boil. Pour in lemongrass mixture. Simmer over low heat until flavors combine, about 20 minutes. Add bok choy and rice noodles; cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Garnish with cilantro.

LEMONGRASS, LIME LEAF AND GINGER DRESSING

Steps:

• Remove the outer layer of the lemongrass, cut off the hard thinner ends and then crush and chop it.
• Put it in the jug blender with the lime leaves, ginger, shallots, lime and lemon juices and blend to a smooth paste.
• Add the herbs, garlic, chillies, oils and sugar and blend again until you get a beautifully green, smooth, thick dressing.

LEMONGRASS LIMEADE

Steps:

• Take one stalk of lemongrass and trim to 6 inches and remove the dry outer layer. Place stalk on a cutting board and use the flat side of a heavy knife to crush it enough to release its fragrant oils. Cut the lemongrass into 1-inch lengths.
• Combine the lemongrass, ginger, sugar, and 1 cups of the water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
• Remove the syrup from the heat. Cool for 10 minutes. Strain it into a pitcher. Discard the ginger and the lemon grass.
• Add the lime juice and the remaining 41/2 cups water to the pitcher. Chill for 25 minutes. Serve over ice.
