Okay, this is funny...the visit from our former Indonesian student prompted me to pull out my Indonesian cookbook and start exploring recipes. As anyone who cooks Thai, Malaysian, etc. knows, getting the proper ingredients can be challenging in Olympia. Almost all Indonesian dishes call for galangal root, a ginger-like root but not quite. I've been on a quest to find it but haven't had any luck. The other day while shopping I ran into my friend and neighbor Christine, I tell her of my recent trip to the Asian market searching for galangal. She says why didn't you ask me?I have it, I'll give you some! Why limit your borrowing to eggs, sugar and flour when you have a neighbor with galangal root?
