I hate to report another failure, but I hesitate to call this one a success. A couple of notes here:

1) lemon grass can be found in the SPICE section of your store. Simply soak dried stalks in water to reconstitute.
2) Do. Not. Forget the lime juice. This stuff was greatly improved when I added that.

Lastly, it's not very good, so try at your own risk.
