All About Ginger: Ginger Recipes and Cooking Tips

All About Ginger: Ginger Recipes and Cooking Tips

Ginger is the rhizome of a plant commonly found in Asia. When fresh, it has a skin that you need to peel away before you can chop it up before cooking. With a knobbly appearance, some wastage will be unavoidable as you peel it. Ginger is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, so it is a good food to have available for drinks as well as cooking. When preparing ginger, note that you can grate it instead of chopping it finely, a method that suits many people.

Popular Ginger Recipes to Try at Home

Many dishes that are designed for more than one person with ginger in them can be converted to a meal for one person by simply adjusting the quantities of the ingredients. Alternatively, you can make the full amount and then freeze excess portions to eat another time. Given there are many spicy recipes featuring ginger that can be split up straightforwardly, this approach makes a lot of sense and saves on energy costs due to batch cooking. That being said, many of the most popular ginger recipe ideas are just as suited to family mealtimes as they are for lone dining or couples. A good example is this honey ginger prawns recipe. Served with stir-fried broccoli and jasmine rice, this ginger-infused dish is a family favourite, so you’ll want to make it a regular recipe to prepare time and again. What’s more, it is a calorie-smart option. If you are new to using fresh ginger in home cooking and want an easy ginger-inspired recipe, then spicy gochujang pork udon is a good dish to start with.

Chicken with Ginger and Spring Onion Stir-Fry Recipe

Chicken with Ginger and Spring Onion Stir-Fry Recipe

To make a simple chicken with ginger and spring onion stir-fry, all you need to do is:

  1. Cut 500 grams of chicken breast into strips, place them in a bowl, and marinate them in soy sauce with some freshly ground pepper. Add some ground ginger at this stage if you like.
  2. Heat some sesame oil in a wok or frying pan and fry the marinated chicken until it is cooked on all sides. Remove it from the pan and set it aside temporarily.
  3. Replenish the oil in the wok and add three tablespoons of freshly cut ginger. Use small pieces and add finely diced garlic as well.
  4. After a minute of frying, add roughly chopped spring onions and cook the vegetables together.
  5. After another minute or so, add soy sauce to make the dish’s sauce. You can also use oyster sauce if preferred. Reduce the heat and allow it to simmer.
  6. Next, bring the chicken back to the pan to combine all the ingredients together.
  7. Serve with noodles or rice, plus a sprinkle of sesame seeds to finish the dish off.
