I don't believe it.....you're gonna have to come over here and prove it.

Yeah, you're right, it's probably not the best recipe. I make a mean Tom Kha Kai soup, too.

Mix up 3 parts Wing Chun to two parts Shaolin Five Animals. Stir with various styles of Karate and Tae Kwon Do, finished off with a pinch of NinJitsu.

I call it "A Pile Of Shite."

Hey do you mean holy basil aka tulsi, that magical plant that has been grown in India for for over 5000 years for it's healing properties? I tried the tea and found it very calming and grounding...

Also I wanted to ask if anyone (Tom Yum maybe?) has ever cooked Thai food with galangal? Do you just use it like ginger? It has been revered in the East for so long and is AMAZING medicinally and I'm going to start cooking with it as soon as I can figure out how!!!

Yes, I've used galangal. Its like ginger, but has a tint of what I'd say is a licorice flavor to it. I use it to flavor meats and stews as you would ginger.

Any recipes where it has a more prominent role that you can share?

Btw for any science geeks reading this, it has these two great constituents, galangin (3, 5, 7 -trihydroxyflavone) which is anti-microbial, anti-carcinogenic and also prevents heart disease, and also regulates cyclo-oxygenase enzymes, so is anti-inflammatory. It's also an aromatase ihibitor, which means that it stops testosterone from turning into estrogen (all you soy protein lovers, I hope you are taking notes.) And it has ACA (acetoxychavicol acetate) , which is also anti-carcinogenic and inhibits phagocytosis by macrophages in inflamed tissues, meaning it reduces the mechanism of tissue injury and inflammation,

Or in english: galangal prevents cancer, heart disease, and helps reduce inflammation/injury so it's good for martial artists.
