What is Galangal? Ever wonder why you're so addicted to Thai soups and curries? There's a zingy, spicy, fragrant, herbal note in there you just can't put your finger on. Unless of course you've seen a slice of what looks like ginger floating around. It's not ginger, it's galangal, and while you might not care until the next craving hits, it's a secret ingredient you should get to know better. Cooking with Galangal Galangal is commonly used as a seasoning ingredient in Thai food, many seafood and meat dishes use galangal for seasoning. There are two ways in which galangal is added to food dishes, one is the crushed form and the other is thin strips. Before you start using galangal, you will always need to peel it and take off the top layer. If the recipe you are making needs the galangal to be crushed, slice it first and then do the crushing. This is because galangal is much more dense and harder than ginger. You will find that many cooks prefer to cut galangal into thin strips, that are similar to matchstick length and dimensions. The fact that galangal is harder than ginger means that, it will need to be cooked for a longer time to become tender. The Thai's love to make spicy curry paste and even dipping sauces with galangal as an ingredient. Yours Kitchen 30 DAY GUARANTEE Have a problem with the Dried Galangal?
