DETAILS

Our Crimson Galangal (riềng đỏ) hails from Thanh Hoá, a province in the north-central Vietnam. A staple in Northern and Central Vietnamese cuisine, as well as in Southeast Asian cooking, galangal offers a unique spicy warmth. Although galangal resembles ginger's appearance, its flavor is distinctively different. Crimson Galangal boasts peppery and earthy notes that resemble spruce tips and pink peppercorn, enhancing various dishes such as stews, braises, and curries. Among Vietnam’s three galangal varieties, the red galangal stands out for its remarkable fragrance. 

Net weight: 1.41 oz (40g)

HOW TO USE CRIMSON GALANGAL

    • Rehydrate the galangal by letting them bloom in water for 1-2 minutes then drain excess water. Use in place of fresh galangal.
    • Cooking tip:
      • If skipping rehydration, begin cooking with low heat to prevent burning.

      • Great for marinades, stir-fry, soups, desserts, syrups, teas, and drinks. 

    Please note this product cooks quickly with the heat on. If using multiple herbs, prepare them separately as they have different cooking times.

    SIZE GUIDE

    1.41 oz of dehydrated galangal equals 8.7 oz of fresh galangal.
