How to choose & cook
Choose ginger that is firm and heavy with smooth skin, free from mold or shriveling. The flesh should be light to bright yellow. Young ginger is mild and suitable for stir-fries and soups, while mature ginger has a stronger aroma and is ideal for dry stir-fries. Peel lightly, then slice, julienne, or crush before cooking.
