How to Freeze Ginger
How to freeze finely chopped ginger, ready to use in stir-fries and marinades. Recipe with step-by-step photos.
Ingredients
Instructions
Peel the ginger using a vegetable peeler and/or sharp-edged spoon.
Rinse the ginger under cold water to remove any dirt and bits of peel.
Cut the ginger into thick slices.
At this stage, you can freeze some or all of the slices of ginger for use in soups and stocks.
To finely chop the ginger, place the ginger slices into the bowl of a food processor.
Process the ginger to your desired texture. Many Asian recipes call for finely grated ginger, so I typically chop the ginger until it is quite fine, but not puréed.
Transfer the chopped ginger to a silicone ice cube tray with a lid.
If there is any juice from the ginger collected in the bowl, make sure you mix this with the chopped ginger.

FOR HOW LONG CAN YOU FREEZE GINGER?Unless food is vacuum-sealed for storage in the freezer, I would recommend using any frozen foods within 3 to 6 months.
STORING GINGER IN THE FRIDGEAny leftover chopped ginger which does not fit into the ice cube trays can be kept in a sealed glass container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
