Kreung Lemongrass Spice (Golden) Paste

Fresh Ingredients in Kreung

Lemongrass 

lemongrass is a root; it tastes like a mix of lemon and lemon mint. The flavor is quite light and does not overpower other flavors in a dish. 

Galangal 

galangal is a root that is very similar to ginger, however, galangal's flavor is sharper, spicier, and slightly more peppery.

Kaffir Lime Leaves 

galangal is a root that is very similar to ginger, however, galangal's flavor is sharper, spicier, and slightly more peppery.

Garlic 

Garlic in its raw form tastes sweet, spicy, assertive, and robust. It is powerful and provides a kick.

Turmeric 

turmeric is mildly aromatic and has scents of orange or ginger. It has a pungent, bitter flavor.

Ginger 

fresh ginger is slightly peppery and sweet, with a pungent and spicy aroma.

• 2 lemongrass stalk

• 10 lime leaves

• 3 slices galangal

• 3 slices ginger

• 3 slices of turmeric

Chop up all of your aromatic herbs and blend, that's it!

When making kreung I like to use a food processor. Beware the turmeric will stain your appliances. 

The traditional way is to make it in a mortar however, I find this takes too long.
