Coriander root is an overlooked but incredibly aromatic part of the coriander plant, especially used in Southeast Asian cuisine – particularly in Thailand and Vietnam. The root has a more intense, earthy and peppery flavor than coriander leaves, and it adds a deep umami to dishes where the leaves would seem too light or fresh. Coriander root is indispensable in homemade curry pastes, soups such as Tom Yum and marinades for meat and fish. It is typically blended or pounded together with garlic and pepper to create an aromatic base. Where coriander leaves are used as a topping, the roots are used as the foundation in many classic dishes. If you want true, authentic Asian flavor in your kitchen, coriander root is a must.
