Myself I've used a ginger grater and have chopped the stuff up into small chunks. It really depends on the recipe. The nice thing about a ceramic ginger grater is that unless you like the stuff, the fiberous material stays in the center of the grater and you only have to deal with the pulp and juic

I cook with ginger daily (Indian wife, don't forget) but unfortunately all I can tell you is that whether you should grate it, slice it, or dice it depends largely on the dish (and personal taste, of course).   There's no one best way to use it.  Personally, in most dishes I prefer it in small c

The easiest way to peel it, I've found, is with a spoon. Just scrape the spoon on the peel and it will come right off. I use a lot of fresh ginger - usually grated. M. On Sat, 24 Jul 2004 15:37:30 -0600, dana tierney  wrote: > anyone know if the ginger you find in some thai dishes is just slic

Break off a small piece, as much as you'll use and smack it pretty hard with a large knife or the bottom of a pan. If you're making a sauce you'd leave it as is and remove it when done. If it's going to be in the dish you should peel it and grate it. It's very difficult to chew unlike the thin slic

anyone know if the ginger you find in some thai dishes is just sliced and thrown in with the meat or needs some sort of special preparation? Peeling maybe? I bought some because I think I am eating out too much and why not cook the stuff myself, but.. I suppose the right cookbook would help. The a
