Notes

* I created this recipe using frozen whole pieces of galangal, not fresh, as I don't have access to any. I imagine it's flavor is a bit dulled compared to fresh galangal, so if using fresh, you may want to start with less and add more after tasting. By all means, do not substitute with ginger.
