Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

Makes about 3 tablespoons, enough for one or two dishes

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. You can also combine everything in a blender and blend into a paste; this is easier and faster, and the paste will be finer. You can use 8 pieces of dried galangal or 2 teaspoons of ground ginger instead of 1 tablespoon of galangal powder.
