"Cooking for my family had become a chore. I was basically in a rut until I came across your site via the OCA. I have actually began enjoying cooking again. My kids are now even trying simple recipes on their own. I feel such a sense of satisfaction knowing I am preparing food that's nourishing and delicious. I have learned so much. Thank you, thank you :)"

"I have been cooking more. I made some really good fried tofu, delicious soba noodles, Bok Choy (from the collard greens vid), Blanched red cabbage, fried rice, some thing else I can't remember, and almost every day for breakfast I eat either quinoa or steel cut oats. Not only that my knowledge on food has increased 10 fold. All thanks to you. xo"

Using the edge of a regular table spoon, peel skin off the ginger. Once all of the peel is off, grate it by using a ceramic ginger grater or a microplaner, both available from the Cookus Store.  |

Hi Cynthia,
I was wondering how to properly store ginger to extend its shelf life? What is its shelf life? Also, every time I grate ginger, it gets stringy. Do you have any solutions for that? Thank You!

Si,
To prevent stinginess peel the ginger and grate it with a microplaner using the flat end of the stem (not the side). Sliced ginger can be stored in sherry in a jar in the refrigerator where it will keep for quite a while.
