The best tip I ever got for using and storing ginger root is this simple secret: Keep it in the freezer (I use a zip-type bag). This means:
  • It grates really easily and finely (any grater will do, although I like the Microplane type best)
  • You don't have to peel it! I'm not kidding. The peel grates up so fine you don't have to worry about it, which means
  • Much less waste, so it lasts longer.
Try this and you will be a convert, I guarantee. It takes all of the hassle out of working with fresh ginger, and you don't end up biting down on pieces of ginger in your food.
