What is Galangal?! Well, the comment rang a bell in my mind and sure enough I find in my spice cabinet a small jar of powdered galangal. Wikipedia tells us that it is a rhizome plant related related to ginger. My jar of Penzeys spice says “Galangal is used in Indonesia and Southeast Asia. The flavor is flowery and intense, but small amounts combine well with ginger & lemon grass in Thai cooking, stir fry, or mixed with black pepper/cayenne for meat/poultry.”
And it is quite aromatic! I would describe the flavor as a strong ginger with a peppery and earthy quality. I have not used it yet in cooking, but now I plan to!
It was rather a rhetorical question; as I am able to search on Wikipedia too! But yes, I think it was somehow flowery and intense (though I had more intese “normal” ginger teas). I can imagine it in the meals with lemongrass.
But thank you anyway!
