Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh ginger root (about 2 cups)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt (optional)

Instructions

Prepping Ginger

  • Wash your fresh organic ginger under running water and pat dry using a kitchen towel.
    Peel the ginger using a spoon or vegetable peeler. Also, remove the bruised part if any. 
    Note: If you are using organic ginger, you can skip peeling the skin, however, I like to remove the skin as it can increase the shelf life.
