galangal: galangal powder
origin: china
   

Also known as Laos powder, ground galangal comes from a dried root similar in many ways to ginger. The scent is however, far more perfumed than ginger and in fact the spice is used in some perfumery applications in Asia. Galangal is often used in Indonesian and Malaysian cookery and the hot, fragrant flavour is suitable in small quantities in many seafood curries and soup. Once valued highly in Europe, the spice has become obscure.

uses: Add a pinch of the powder in place of ginger to stir-fries, curries or soups.
