An aromatic with a pungent, peppery, citrus-like flavour used in Asian cooking. Galangal Powder is made from a rhizome, like ginger, that originates in Malaysia and is a staple in Thai, Indonesian, Malaysian, and Vietnamese cooking. It's convenient to use in dry form, and one teaspoon of powder is the equivalent of a 1/2 inch of peeled, fresh galangal. It adds a distinct flavour in Malaysian beef curry, Thai green curry, Tom Yum soup, and peanut sauce for satay.
