Galangal root 100g is an aromatic root, related to ginger and turmeric, that adds a lightly peppery and citrusy flavor to your dishes. It is an indispensable ingredient in Southeast Asian kitchens, especially in Thai and Indonesian dishes like tom yum soup, curry and stir-fries. With its sharp and perfumed flavor, galangal root provides a unique depth and complexity, perfect for both traditional and modern Asian recipes.
Preparation – Rinse galangal root thoroughly, and peel the outer, hard skin with a knife or spoon.
Cutting – Slice it thinly, chop it finely, or grate it depending on the recipe.
Cooking in soups and sauces – Add slices directly to soups and let them simmer to release the flavor. Remove the slices before serving, as they can be very tough.
Stir-fries and curries – Chop or grate galangal root finely, and sauté it together with other spices to intensify the flavor.
Infusion in tea and drinks – Place slices in boiling water for 5-10 minutes for an aromatic tea, optionally with honey and lemon.
