COOK'S TIPS
Peel fresh ginger without paring it down
To peel ginger root, rather than use a knife and cut away much of the usable ginger with the peel, place the edge of a metal spoon against the tip of the chunk of ginger root. Exert firm pressure and move the spoon downward along the root. The edge of the spoon will remove the peel but none of the underlying ginger.
