Dried galangal is a popular spice in Asian cooking, particularly in Southeast Asian cuisines like Thai, Indonesian, and Malaysian. It is a relative of ginger but has a distinct flavor and aroma that adds a unique dimension to dishes. Here are some common uses of dried galangal in Asian cooking:
Soups and Broths: Dried galangal is often used as a key ingredient in preparing various Asian soups and broths, such as Tom Kha Gai (Thai coconut soup) and various Indonesian and Malaysian soups.
When using dried galangal, it's important to rehydrate it before using it in your dishes. You can soak it in warm water for about 20-30 minutes or add it directly to your cooking liquid. Once rehydrated, you can slice, chop, or grind it to the desired consistency.
Dried galangal has a warm, citrusy, and slightly spicy flavor.
