How much dried lemon grass do you need in a recipe that calls for fresh lemon grass?

You would need about a quarter of dried lemon grass by weight compared to fresh lemon grass. The problem is that dried lemon grass tends to be woody, and cannot be added whole to a recipe as you would with fresh lemon grass. The only way to get decent results is to make an extract (a very strong tea) with the dried lemon grass and use as seasoning just before serving.
