Steps

Method 1 of 2: Use fresh ginger in recipes

1. 

   Combine ginger with a vegetable soup. The spicy taste of ginger goes well with those smooth soups. The thick ginger-flavored vegetable soup is great in the cold, as ginger adds flavor to your dish and warms you up! You can make a simple vegetable soup like this:
   • Measure out 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of chopped fresh ginger, 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of coriander seed powder, and ½ teaspoon of mustard seed powder. Add the above ingredients with ½ teaspoon of curry powder to 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of hot oil in a thick saucepan.
   • Place 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of chopped fresh ginger, 2 cups (480 ml) chopped onions, and 4 cups (950 ml) of thinly sliced ​​carrots in a saucepan. Pan the ingredients for 3 minutes, then boil 5 cups (1.2 liters) of chicken broth.
   • Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 30 minutes. Allow to cool, then grind batch by batch in a food processor until the soup is smooth. Return to the saucepan and slowly add cup (60 ml) of the chicken broth if the soup is too thick.

   Scrape fresh ginger into stir-fries. Stir-fries are easy to make at home. Pour protein and vegetables with a little sauce into the pan with a few tablespoons of oil. Fry the ingredients over medium heat until cooked. Grate a little fresh ginger into the pan when stir-frying half way to add a little spiciness to the dish.

3. 

   Add ginger to dessert. Ginger goes well with sweet dishes thanks to its spicy taste. You can add ginger to most cookies, muffins and pies for flavor. See recipes for when to add fresh ginger. Depending on the recipe, you may need to add the ginger to wet or dry ingredients.
   • Fresh ginger is usually stronger than dried ginger powder, so be careful when measuring ingredients. You may need to reduce the amount of ginger to ¾ or ½ if you use fresh ginger instead of ginger powder.
   • The longer it takes to mix ginger with other flavors, the stronger will be. If you want to make ginger pumpkin pie, you can make it one day in advance for a stronger ginger flavor.

Blend all ingredients until smooth, and you have ginger sauce for your salad! advertisement

1. 

   
   
   Chew fresh ginger to improve indigestion. If you have an upset stomach, a slice of fresh ginger may help. Slice a piece of peeled fresh ginger into thin slices and chew like a chewing gum. Once the ginger slice is pale, you can throw it away and chew another slice of ginger.
