1 tablespoon fresh galangal (peeled and finely chopped)

Place the dried chilies in a heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water and soak for 20–30 minutes until fully softened. Drain and squeeze out excess water.

Add the soaked dried chilies, fresh chilies, lemongrass, galangal, shallots, garlic, cilantro stems, makrut lime leaves, miso paste, white pepper, salt, and oil to a narrow container or large measuring cup.

Blend with an immersion blender until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed — about 2–3 minutes. If using a high-speed blender, add 1–2 tablespoons of water to help the blades move. The paste should be deeply fragrant and brick red with no large chunks remaining.

Use immediately, refrigerate in an airtight jar for up to 3 days, or freeze in tablespoon-sized portions for up to 3 months.
