5 Ways to Cook with Ginger

Ginger Brings Warmth and Zing

Ginger has a bright, peppery flavour that works in drinks, savoury dishes and baking. Fresh ginger, dried ginger and powdered ginger each bring a slightly different intensity.

Five Kitchen Ideas

1. Ginger tea-style drink: Steep slices of fresh ginger in hot water, then add lemon or honey if desired.
2. Smoothies: Blend a small piece of ginger with banana, mango, pineapple or carrot.
3. Stir-fries: Add grated ginger with garlic and spring onion for aroma.
4. Dressings: Whisk ginger with sesame oil, soy sauce and lime.
5. Baking: Use powdered ginger in biscuits, cakes or spiced granola.

Start with a small amount and adjust to taste, as ginger can quickly become strong.
