Chakriya’s Mother Paste
This is kreung, or as I like to call it the Mother Paste. It makes everything taste good and is good for you too! All my friends have been making marinades, stir-frys with it. My friend even put it in a burger with that paste. It was so good. You can store it in the fridge for a week or so after you make it.
Ingredients:
- 4 lemongrass stalks, thinly sliced
- 1 shallot
- 1 thai chili (optional)
- 10 kaffir lime leaves, vein removed
- 1/4 inch of knob of galangal, thinly sliced
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 2 pc of turmeric
Combine in mortar and pestle and grind down to a fine past. Be patient, use a food processor as a last resort.
