    In USA, I've bought a jar of minced galangal. It seems to have no flavor! Prior to that I'd heard & used regular American ginger as a substitute, but the Amer. ginger is very sharp & fragrant.

    Please describe galangal's taste & smell & please sort out the Amer. ginger substitute.

    Thank you!

    Thank you for this recipe! It is my husband's favourite soup and we have only tasted it at our local (excellent) Thai restaurant.

    I may have to hunt for one or two of the ingredients but I might now be able to cook it at home for Tom!

    Thank you!!
