Galangal is a rhizome that has the peppery hotness of ginger but not the sweetness. Use it to flavour Indonesian sambals or in fish dishes with coconut milk. Also known as laos (Indonesian) and kha (Thailand). Greater galangal is most widely available with a creamy colour, while Lesser galangal has an oranger flesh and a hotter flavour.
