Mincing ginger is easily performed at home using the following technique.
1Purchase quality ginger. Select ginger that is firm and unblemished. Choose a shape that isn't too crinkly but has lots of broad surface making it easy to cut.Ad
2Prepare a flat cutting surface, such as a chopping board.
3Remove the outer skin of the ginger. Use a peeling knife or peeler. If using a knife, cut away from you.
4Slice the peeled ginger into even rounds.
5Stack the rounds on top of each other and chop thinly into slices.
6Place the slices into one even pile. Gently rock the knife back and forth over the ginger to mince it.
- If you have a double bladed herb/ginger chopper (mezzaluna), use this instead. Place the rounds into the the concave chopping board and pass the mezzaluna over the ginger rounds to mince.
7Use as required.Ad
