Lengkoas Kering 100g Dried Galangal Slices

Traditional Indonesian Dried Galangal

Lengkoas Kering 100g is prepared from fresh galangal root that has been sliced and carefully dried to preserve its natural aroma and flavour. Galangal, known as lengkuas in Indonesian cooking, is a widely used aromatic spice that plays an important role in many traditional dishes.

The drying process helps maintain the characteristic fragrance of galangal while allowing the ingredient to be stored for a longer period. This makes dried galangal a practical alternative when fresh galangal is not readily available.

Distinctive Aroma and Robust Flavour

Galangal is recognised for its sharp, slightly peppery fragrance and subtle bitter-spicy taste. Lengkoas Kering provides these natural qualities in a concentrated form, helping to deepen the flavour of slow-cooked dishes and spice-based recipes.

• Made from sliced and dried galangal root (Alpinia galanga)
• Strong aromatic fragrance
• Distinct spicy and slightly bitter taste
• Long shelf life compared to fresh galangal
• Convenient ingredient for traditional cooking

Commonly Used in Indonesian Cuisine

Galangal is a key aromatic ingredient in Indonesian cooking, often used together with other spices such as lemongrass, turmeric, and bay leaves. It contributes depth and complexity to many dishes.

Typical culinary uses include:

• Rendang and slow-cooked meat dishes
• Curry and coconut-based stews
• Soups and broths
• Traditional spice blends
• Herbal infusions and traditional beverages

When simmered in sauces or broths, the dried slices gradually release their aromatic flavour into the dish.

Serving Instructions

Add Lengkoas Kering directly to soups, curries, or stews during the cooking process. The slices can be used whole or lightly crushed to release more aroma.

Allow the galangal to simmer with the dish so its flavour gradually infuses into the broth or sauce. The slices are typically removed before serving.

Storage Information

Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the packaging tightly sealed to maintain freshness and aroma.
