Paste
- Place galgangal in a pestle and mortar and grind to a paste.
- Gradually add the remaining ingredients, one by one, and pound to a paste. Set aside.

- Heat sugar and water on medium heat, Induction setting 6, until dissolved. Continue to cook for a further 5 minutes.
- Add fish sauce, then stir in the paste. Continue to cook for a further 5 minutes.
- Add tamarind water, continue to cook for a few minutes but do not reduce too much or the dressing will harden.
