How To Prep and Cook with Galangal
There are a few different ways to prep galangal for cooking
- Thinly slice the root and steep in liquid for soups. No peeling is required because the slices are too firm and woody to consume, so they are discarded before serving.
- Finely mince galangal to add to a salad or salad dressing; a finer mince is edible.
- Grind galangal by itself or with herbs and spices to make a paste for a curry.
- ESSENTIAL for authentic flavor of Tom Yum Soup and Tom Kha Gai
- COMMON INGREDIENT for South East Asian Cuisines. Also called Greater Galangal, Kha, Thai Galanga
- NOT SUBSTITUTE for GINGER: Galangal has a sharp citrusy, almost piney flavor, while ginger is fresh, pungently spicy, and barely sweet
