Ingredients
- ginger root
Instructions
- Peel the ginger root using the edge of a spoon.
- Use a grater or microplane to mince the ginger.
- If you don’t have a grater or microplane, use a large chef’s knife to slice thin slices in one direction, then chop in the other direction until the ginger is minced into small pieces. You may want to hold the top of your knife with your non-cutting hand and continue working over the ginger until the pieces are small enough.

Notes
- If storing minced ginger in a ziplock bag, remove as much air as possible to keep it fresh.
- If using a knife to mince the ginger, cut slowly and keep fingers out of the way. Take your time and cut it as fine as possible for the strongest flavor.
