Learn how to mince ginger quickly, safely and easily to use in all of your favorite recipes. Learn how to peel, grate and finely chop fresh ginger root to add flavor to your dishes.
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.
Ginger is very nutritious and has many health benefits. It's anti-inflammatory, strengthens your immune system, aids digestion, boosts bone health, and is proven to help with morning sickness in pregnant women.
