Galangal looks like ginger but has a distinct flavor. As such, you cannot substitute galangal with regular ginger (which can be disastrous). Galangal is quite hard and sometimes can be quite dirty (because it is a root vegetable). Wash them thoroughly and cut them into thin slices. There is no need to remove the skin for this tom yum soup recipe since we will not eat them, only to extract the flavor.

On medium heat, dry toasting white peppercorn and coriander seeds until fragrant, 3-4 minutes. Do not let the seeds get too browned, or they will release a bitter, unpleasant taste.

Step 7. Add the tamarind paste and use the pestle to stir to blend the ingredients in the paste form together. The lemongrass, galangal slices, and kaffir lime leaves are not meant to be eaten so you may wish to remove them from the soup before serving.
