My galangal plant is blooming. Galangal is a member of zingiberaceae (the ginger family). Although it's less well-known in the west, its rhizome is used in a variety of Southeast Asian dishes.

I'm not a huge fan of the flavor, but I grow it anyway. A lot of members of zingiberaceae grow well in shady areas at my place (I guess they don't care about growing in a low-soil environment!), so I grow them.

The unique shape of the flower makes me wonder what pollinator it evolved with... 🤔

update: nope, they don’t carry #galangal #SandGinger, so the hunt continues…

i did pick up a pork belly to braise in the master stock this weekend, though!

Harvested some #turmeric & #galangal (Thai Ginger) today! Excited to have some ultra-fresh spices for a while!

This was 2 small pots of galangal & 1 small pot of turmeric. Have 3-4 more pots of each still to harvest.

Will probably re-plant 1/3 of these.

I love knowing everything that went into my food, & more importantly, everything that didn't!

I've added a new ingredient from Thailand to my diet, galangal. It's an edible root that makes an excellent meat substitute, better than mushrooms. It's also very hot like a pepper.

Other ingredients with the jasmine rice are mushrooms, Thai pepper and Carolina Reaper chili powder.
