How To Freeze Ginger

Freezing ginger is one of the easiest and best freezer tips I have to offer you. Anytime I plan on making homemade Chinese food, I always want fresh ginger, but just like my dilemma with celery, I don’t always have ginger on hand… until now!

Having ginger on hand now whenever I need it makes it super easy to make some of my favorite dishes, as well as adding it to my smoothies or hot tea.

First thing you want to do is scrape off all the skin. I do this with either a butter knife or potato peeler. I tend to use both interchangeably… Since ginger isn’t typically smooth all over, having the potato peeler on hand really helps. Then, cut the ginger into chunks. Place in a small blender and add 2 Tablespoons of water.

Blend until you get a nice paste. I ended up adding a total of 5 Tablespoons of water to get the consistency I wanted. It’s going to be a thick paste.

Place the ginger mixture into a freezer quart size bag and freeze flat. This makes it so much easier to break off a piece when needed. If you make your paste too runny, it’ll freeze like an ice cube; however, if you freeze it with less water added, it’ll be more of a paste and the texture will be better.

 

****Note: You can also add garlic cloves to this to make it a ginger/garlic mixture. I prefer just doing ginger, so that I can add it to many different recipes.

    Can I put these in the silicone small ice cube trays like you do with the garlic purée?
