Dried Galangal Root, 100g · Taste Of Asia

There are ingredients that don't need much to completely change the direction of a dish, and galangal is exactly that. It is strongly associated with Thai cuisine, especially in dishes like Tom Yum, curries, and aromatic broths, and brings with it a sharp, fresh, and deep character that is very difficult to replicate with regular ginger. This is an ingredient suitable for those who want to cook Asian food with more precision and more layers of flavor, without overpowering the dish.

Since it is dried galangal, it keeps well in the pantry, always available when needed, and does not require buying a fresh root every time. In addition, drying concentrates the aroma, so even a relatively measured use is enough to bring a clear and more precise Thai fragrance into the pot. This is an excellent choice for those who like to keep small ingredients in the kitchen that do a big job. 

Tips
Especially suitable for Tom Yum soups, curries, broths, sauces, and seasoning pastes.
It is best to add it at the beginning of cooking to allow the aroma to develop in the liquid.
You can soak it in hot water before use if you want to soften the texture slightly.
It is recommended to keep it tightly sealed and in a dry place to preserve the aroma.
