  I think it would be worth whizzing the lemon grass spring onion and herbs in a food processor before adding to the mix, when I was eating these I kept on getting chunks which weren't very nice. Other than that it's a good combination of flavours.

  I would suggest that you cut the lemongrass into 1 inch peices buise them with the knife handle to release the flavour and at the end of the dish remove them, as I do with Thai Tom Yum Soup, as they are inedible. Unless you can find lemongrass powder. whizzing them in a blender will not hide them. (Its like making Italian pasta sauce I would not dream of leaving the whole basil leaves in the sauce, tip... I keep them whole to remove them easily)
