INSTRUCTIONS
Place chiles in a small bowl of warm water to soak for 20 minutes. Combine
the peppercorns, coriander seed and cumin seed in a mortar and grind to a
powder with a pestle, or use a spice grinder. Set aside. Trim any grassy
tops and hard roots off the lemongrass, then finely chop the stalk. Place
the lemongrass, cilantro, galanga and lime peel in the mortar and grind to
break them down. Add the garlic and shallot and grind until a moist paste
forms, about 5 minutes. Drain the chiles and add them to the paste in the
mortar. Add the spices, shrimp paste and salt and grind well. Transfer
paste to a jar, cover tightly and refrigerate. This recipe yields about 1
cup of paste.
