Notes

  • Ginger is the gnarled, bumpy root of the ginger plant. Its flavor is peppery and slightly sweet. Ginger root has a very thin, light brown skin that must be removed before using. Simply cut off the amount of ginger you need, and use a knife or vegetable peeler to remove the skin. Fresh ginger root can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three weeks if left unpeeled. Or, you can store it up to six months in the freezer.
