Description
From the same botanical family as ginger, this hard-to-find rhizome has an earthy, somewhat peppery flavor and is used to brighten dishes and add a touch of heat. Angkor Foods dried-and-ground galangal is slightly sweeter than ground, without any of the bitterness it can possess. In savory dishes, it can impart a mustard-like pungency; try substituting it for the ground ginger.
