Fresh Galangal: Aromatic Flavour and Firm Texture!
Fresh galangal, a close relative of ginger, is a staple in Southeast Asian cuisine. This exotic vegetable is known for its citrusy, peppery flavour with hints of pine. Its aroma is sharp and invigorating, while its taste delivers a unique balance of spiciness and warmth. Unlike ginger, galangal has a firmer texture and is less fibrous, making it best suited for slicing, crushing or grating. When cooked, it infuses dishes with an exotic, fragrant depth that’s instantly recognisable.
Cooking Suggestions: How to Cook Galangal
Slicing: Add thin slices to broths, soups or stews for an aromatic infusion.
Grating: Grate into marinades, curry pastes or stir-fries for a concentrated flavour.
Smashing: Lightly smash chunks before adding them to soups for maximum flavour release.
Simmering: Simmer in coconut milk-based dishes like curries for a creamy, fragrant base.
Stir-frying: Incorporate finely minced galangal for a burst of aroma and spice.
Serving Suggestions: What to Pair Galangal With
Soups: Use in tom kha (Thai coconut soup) or tom yum for authentic flavours.
Seafood: Combine with prawns, fish or squid to enhance their natural sweetness.
Citrus: Pair with lime juice, lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves for a zesty profile.
Coconut milk: Balance its sharpness with the creamy richness of coconut-based dishes.
Herbs: Combine with Thai basil, cilantro or mint for fresh, aromatic layers.
Cooking suggestions: Slicing (broths, soups, stews), grating (marinades, curry pastes, stir-fires), smashing (chunks for soups), simmering (coconut milk-based dishes like curry) or stir-frying for a nice aroma and spice.
