I rarely find a large size ginger like what you have there. This week our grocery store finally got some in and they are huge, I got so excited I bought a bunch to preserve it for the future which leads me to this channel… thank you for the tip.
I live in Northern Wisconsin. All our store bought vegetables are old, like very dead. When I see plump ginger I get excited, too. I buy a lot and have to find find a way to store it. I’ll try Hawaiian Pickle Lady’s way today.
Using the vinegar method is way better since the said liquid really is a natural preservative. And many thanks to you, auntie for showing us how to preserve ginger.
Thank you for sharing. When I saw your hands I got an instant flashback to my 🇵🇹 grandmother’s hands. So hard working, wise and loving. ❤ and peace to you from 🇨🇦
I skip the freezing in the pan and just flatten the chopped ginger directly in the ziploc. After it's slightly frozen, I use a spatula and crease the bag into portions before freezing it solid. I do this with my excess tomato paste...frozen in 1Tbsp chunks. I've also tried small ice cube trays..but they end up in the ziploc anyway so best to skip a few steps. =)
True, sometimes it crumbles up anymore and a few whacks on the counter loosens them up or before they freeze solid, loosen so won't be all stuck together.
Thank you, just the information I needed! Our ginger is now stored in a jar in the fridge and will last longer than in the grocery store packaging in the fridge.
Obrigada por compartilhar o seu conhecimento de como armazenar e conservar o gengibre! Thank you for sharing your knowledge on how to store and conserve ginger.
Thank you so much for the video! That's really helpful)) could you please tell, how do you usually use pickled ginger in vinegar? Is it just the regular way - put it while cooking?
Speaking of Ginger, could you show us how you make your version of chicken long rice? I was also wondering how you make your chicken or pork luau... We used to do it the lazy way with leftover chicken (or pork) lau lau, broth, coconut milk,etc..🌺
Maybe a little. I also grate or process ginger, press it flat in a little pan and when frozen hard, I cut it into chunks and put it in a ziploc bag and freeze so I just take out a little at a time. You can also put it in ice cube trays too.
I have no idea why I'm watching this. I only use a pinch or two of dried ginger when I use it, which is very seldom. I also have a special ginger jar that I (for obvious reasons) never use. I considered giving it to charity the other day, but no. It's still just standing on a shelf in a kitchen cabinet, looking pretty. At least now I know how to use it!
If it is preserved in vinegar does it give the ginger a vinegar taste when you go to use it later? I don't want pickled ginger, but to preserve fresh ginger, so maybe the second approach is better for me?
