1
Prepare the Lemongrass
Trim the tops and bottoms of the lemongrass stalks, then gently bruise them with the back of a knife to release their flavor.
2
Marinate Lemongrass
In a bowl, mix the vegetable oil with salt and pepper. Add the bruised lemongrass and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
3
Cook the Rice
In a saucepan, combine the basmati rice, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
4
Prepare Garlic Rice
In a pan, heat some oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in the cooked rice and mix thoroughly. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
5
Grill the Lemongrass
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated lemongrass for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until charred and fragrant.
6
Serve
Serve the grilled lemongrass on a plate alongside the garlic rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
