Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Place the chili peppers in a small bowl of warm water and soak for 20 minutes. Combine the peppercorns, coriander seeds, and cumin seeds in a mortar and pestle and grind into a powder, or use a spice grinder.
  2. Trim the grassy tops and tough roots from the lemongrass, then finely chop the stems. Place the lemongrass, cilantro, galangal, and lime zest in a mortar and mash. Add the garlic and shallots and mash until a wet paste forms, about 5 minutes.

    Strain the peppers and add them to the paste in a mortar. Add the spices, shrimp paste, and salt and grind well. Transfer the paste to a jar, seal tightly, and store in the refrigerator.
    Exit: 1 tbsp.
