Fresh Root Ginger

bridgetdunstable

Hi

Had my shopping delivered last night and seem to have managed to buy nearly 500g of root ginger, only wanted a small piece to add to a stir fry!

Does anyone have any ideas what I can do with the rest?

Hi - I always order a larger piece and then just bung it in the freezer. I then just grate it from frozen in to curry, stir fry etc. HTH!

I peel and chop into usable pieces and freeze; you can then remove a piece as you need it and grate it from froze

I have just recieved my online shop from Asda and have been given 1kg of ginger, one of us has made a mistake. Does anyone have any recipe ideas as I dont want it to go to waste and its not something I usually buy due to price.

i stick mine in the freezer and take shaving off the frozen ginger when i need it.

i sometimes steep some to make ginger tea (sweeten with a bit of honey). Otherwise for cooking, use it in curries, stir fries or to zest up some beef stew.

you can also chop some up and store it in oil in the fridge

I'd definitely freeze it and grate it from frozen. It's what I do although I've only got a little piece. You won't need to buy ginger ever again
