  1. As part of cooking adventures- I bought some Galanga Ginger for Thai food! It is very expensive
    (3.99/lb). I used a little. Now how do I store it so it wont get rotten? Thanks in advance to those
    who care to reply and help!

    Plant it in a pot and keep it in a sunny window, or plant it outdoors if you live in a warm climate.

    Pretty soon it will sprout & you will have lots of nice, fresh galangal whenever you need it. Dig
    some up, take a chunk, re-plant.

    $4/lb is cheap for Galangal (notice correct spelling). Store it at room temperature in moist sand.

    Gernot Katzer, who graciously posted to this group the other day, has a listing of the name
    variations on his pages. Either way is acceptable.

    Mr. Katzer is an expert in the field and his web pages are remarkable for their depth and accuracy,
    as well as their lovely pictures.

    If you don't want to "take care of it", you can in a jar and cover it with dry sherry, rice wine,
    etc., and refrigerate. It will keep indefinitely.

    You betcha. I have mine in front of my patio doors with a southern exposure.

    DO NOT give it a full sun exposure out of doors, though. It needs dappled light.

    The OP spelled it two different ways. "Galaga" is a video game, not a rhizome.

    Amazingly, I inserted the proper letter in the word when reading it. Sorry.
