I am a big fan of ginger. I love adding it to
dishes, both ethnic and otherwise, to give it a tasty kick. But, being a root,
ginger can be problematic when it comes to chopping, slicing, or grating. All
of those fibers just tend to get in the way, and you can end up with a real
mess.
So here's a little tip for you today. When you get ginger, as
soon as you get it home and out of its bag, toss it into the freezer. It
grates, slices, and chops like a dream when it's frozen. It also keeps forever,
so you will always have it on hand. I make it a habit to have one or two ginger
roots in the freezer so that I can make any recipe that
has ginger, at the drop of a hat. Throw that powdered stuff away, and grate
your own. It's easy, if it's freez-y. (Bad pun, I know, but I just couldn't
resist.) :-)
