My good friend Gen shared this trick with me last time I was over at her house and I had to share it too…
If you like cooking with Ginger, you know how annoying it can be to grate. It becomes a bit of a pulp which you need to scrape from the grater, leaves behind fibrous strands that are annoying to clean and make a bit of a mess when grating. You also have to peel it before using…
but…
if you store your ginger in the freezer, not only will it last longer but it also gets rid of all the above.
Simply take the ginger out of the freezer, grate the amount you need and that is it… no peeling, no fibrous strands, no pulp that you have to scrape off… just ginger snow that falls into your dish perfectly with no mess…
Try it! it really works!
My parents always kept ginger in the freezer, so I do too! I hate when I forget to buy it and have to use fresh…the little fibers are so frustrating.
Though I would love to take the credit for this trick, I, ahem, saw it on some food network show…haha
