Ginger root (shoga)
This spice beckons appetites with its pungent
flavor and aroma. Its slight sharpness helps
to settle the digestive system. Select roots
with taut, unwrinkled skin. Grated ginger,
also available ready-made in a tube, can
be used as a preseasoning or spice. As needle-thin
slivers, ginger can be used as a garnish
for simmered dishes, salads and soups. Sliced
thin, it can be pickled or used to counteract
strong-smelling meat and fish. |
