Easy Thai recipe of Thai herbs is good for your health. Galangal, for example, is Thai folk medicine that helps you with abdominal pain, vomiting, hiccups and diarrhea. It has hot and spicy taste with an aromatic odor. My husband always takes one accident bite from Tom Yum soup and put away because the taste is too strong.
However, when it’s cut into small pieces, it will be easier to eat. Also, one bite with a small piece of galangal will increase your happiness of eating Thai food.
