Prepare lemongrass by trimming the ends and peeling the outer layers until tender.

Finely chop the garlic, shallots, ginger, and green onions.

Combine ground pork, chopped garlic, shallots, ginger, fish sauce, lime juice, kaffir lime leaves, coriander, chili paste, sugar, black pepper, and salt in a bowl.

Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.

Stuff the mixture into the prepared lemongrass stalks, pressing it down firmly.

Heat vegetable oil in a grill pan over medium heat.

Place the stuffed lemongrass on the grill pan and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and golden brown.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving.

Serve with fresh vegetables and dipping sauce.
