Galangal: flavouring profile
Galangal is ginger's sharper, piney cousin: camphor, citrus and a peppery bite where ginger is warm and sweet, and because it anchors the lime-and-coconut world of tom kha and tom yum, it asks for a high-acid, aromatic white that can mirror its terpenes and ride the sourness.
