Chef's Notes:
Fresh ginger has a pungent, spicy aroma and peppery, slightly sweet flavor. It is frequently used in oriental and Indian cooking. When purchasing fresh ginger, choose roots with smooth skins and a fresh, spicy fragrance. Fresh, unpeeled ginger can be tightly wrapped and refrigerated for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 2 months.
