Fresh Herb Galangal min 150g
Related to ginger but an entirely different ingredient. Galangal has a sharper, more aromatic flavour with a piney citrus quality and a woody depth that ginger simply does not have. In the dishes that call for it there is no substitute — it is the root that gives a genuine Thai curry paste its soul.
Pound into a Thai green or red curry paste alongside lemongrass, chilli and kaffir lime, slice thinly into a tom kha gai where the flavour infuses the coconut broth, simmer in a laksa base, or use in any Southeast Asian dish that calls for it. It is most often used as a flavouring to be removed before eating rather than consumed directly.
Available year-round with reliable quality and no season to wait for.
Look for pieces that are firm and smooth with pale cream to pinkish skin and no soft spots or wrinkling. Galangal is denser and harder than ginger — that firmness is normal. A fresh piece smells piney, sharp and distinctly aromatic.
Store wrapped in paper towel in the fridge for up to two weeks, or peel, slice and freeze for longer storage.
