Ginger root

Laura asked me how to cut the ginger for the Asian soup. I found this website all about ginger http://steamykitchen.com/214-fresh-ginger-tips.html and then I decided to try a few of the techniques.

A vegetable peeler worked great for peeling the ginger and then making strips.


This slicer worked the best for grating the ginger and then I rolled it in plastic wrap.

After it was all rolled up I put it in a labelled plastic bag. When I want to use some, I can just cut or break it off.
