How to Freeze Ginger For Long Term

Learn How to Freeze Whole Ginger
This method is great for long-term storage and for doing something with the "just used" ginger piece that now has an open wound after cutting it.

First Choose a fresh, unblemished piece of ginger (or more pieces, as required). Check that it is clean; if not, give it a gentle wipe and make sure it is dry before proceeding.
Now Second Thin to Do is Wrap the ginger piece or pieces in plastic kitchen wrap or foil. Wrap each piece separately if freezing more than one piece.
Place the piece or pieces inside a resealable freezer bag. Try to match the bag size to the size or amount of ginger being frozen. Push down to expel as much air as possible before sealing tight.
Dont Forget to Place in the freezer.
Remember Remove a whole ginger for use at a time. Allow to thaw, then use as usual.
If making a stir-fry and you have a decent sharp knife, slices can be made before the ginger thaws; it will thaw quickly during the cooking process.
