Garnish with a lemongrass stalk and serve with a straw if you like.

Locate the tender inner lemongrass stalk and finely slice.

Smack the lemongrass stalk with something heavy to crack and add to the pot.

Remove the lemongrass stalks - if they cook any further, they may disintegrate and be impossible to remove.

Cut lemongrass stalks into thin skewers and pierce an oyster on each.
