Kencur (Boesenbergia pandurate, Kaempferia pandurate, Chinese Keys, Krachai) This is sometimes erroneously called lesser galangal or lesser ginger. It is an erect annual plant with aromatic rhizomes and yellow-brown roots, and is used as a flavouring. The rhizomes contain 0.7% volatile oil. The plant reportedly has stomach ache relieving properties and antimicrobial properties, is an antitussive and an antiflatulence agent. The rhizomes consists of thin, light brown cylinders in a cluster. It is ginger-like with a unique, camphor or ginger-lemon flavour that is especially good with fish dishes or to give a citrus tang to soups. It should be used sparingly. It can be peeled, but it is not necessary to do so before use. Dried kencur, sliced or powdered, can be used as a substitute; soak dried slices in boiling water for 30 minutes, or use 0.5 - 1 tspn in place of 2.5 cm fresh root.
