Fresh galangal looks like ginger but the flesh is more white than yellow. Galangal is also much harder (tougher) than ginger. Neither do they taste alike since galangal has a dominant citrusy flavor. In places where galangal is not widely cultivated, it is sold in powdered form, pickled or in jars as crushed galangal (see photo).]]> http://feastasia.net/food/galangal-galanga-blue-ginger/feed/ 4 http://feastasia.net/food/thai-chicken-soup-with-coconut-cream-tom-kha-gai/ http://feastasia.net/food/thai-chicken-soup-with-coconut-cream-tom-kha-gai/#comments Wed, 05 Nov 2008 18:37:43 +0000 Connie http://feastasia.net/?p=496 http://feastasia.net/food/thai-chicken-soup-with-coconut-cream-tom-kha-gai/feed/ 0
