GALANGAL
Galangal is a rhizome with
a hot, ginger-peppery taste. In texture it is a bit firmer than fresh
ginger and it's a bit less fibrous with a finer skin. Galangal is
often used as a substitute for ginger. Galangal has a mildly resinous
aroma, reminiscent of pine and can be found in Asian groceries stores.
In a pinch you can use ginger as a substitute.
