How to Freeze Ginger
A great way to process ginger in bulk for later use.
Ingredients
- ginger
Instructions
- Wash ginger to get soil and any dirt off.
- Using a knife, carefully scrape off the peels off and chop the ginger into small pieces.
- Process the ginger in a blender until fine. During the blending process, you will need to add a bit of water to make blending easier.
- On a tray lined with baking paper, cling film or a clean polythene bag, spread the blended ginger on the tray and place in the freezer for about 5 minutes or until the paste is slightly set.
- Using a knife, make markings on the ginger that resemble small squares and then place the tray back into the freezer.
- Once the ginger is frozen, break off the squares and place them into a ziploc bag or a container with a plastic lid for later use.
- Alternatively, use an ice cube mold and pour the blended ginger into it. Remove from the mold once frozen and store as above.
Notes
- If you aren't used to regularly peeling ginger you may feel some tingling in your fingers. Use gloves to prevent this.
- The smaller the pieces of ginger are, the easier and faster it will be to process the ginger into a fine paste.
- According to preference, you can either make your blended ginger very fine or coarse.
