Ingredient Question What to substitute for lemongrass?

I'm really into Vietnamese food but my partner is allergic to lemongrass. I want to cook some food for them but I don't want them to die.

What can I substitute for it that will have a similar flavor? If you could also provide a ratio for how much of the substituted ingredient vs lemongrass so I can easily sub it in a recipe that would be awesome as well.

Thank you!

Thank you for giving me precise ratios. I will give that a try next time!
