Easy and Clean Way of Grating Ginger
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
While using aluminum foil for this same method is handy, the foil gets mixed into the ginger or other grated condiments, so I use parchment paper instead.
This method takes advantage of the sturdiness and strong water-resistant coating of the parchment paper, which prevents the ginger from sticking!
This is a super convenient trick for when you only need a small amount of garlic, ginger or wasabi! This method is not suitable for grating large quantities of condiments at the same time, so change the parchment paper after each use. Also, the trick is to grate in one fixed direction to prevent the paper from tearing. Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei

- 1
Place a sheet of parchment paper on top of your grater. You only need a small amount.
- 2
For those who need coarsely grated ginger, it's best to grate up and down the grater in one direction. If you grate in different directions, the paper might tear. Do not move the parchment paper.
- 3
For those who need finely grated ginger, grate in a circular motion. Placing the grater on a flat surface should prevent the parchment paper from shifting.
- 4
Scrape the ginger off the parchment paper with chopsticks or a spoon. Aluminum paper or plastic wrap will tear this way, but not parchment paper.
- 5
With the technique of scraping off the ginger as shown in Step 4, some ginger will remain on the paper. Lift the paper off of the grater, place the paper on a flat surface such as a cutting board, and use your finger to gather the grated ginger.
- 6
This way, there is no waste, and every grated bit can be used. It's very handy when you just need a tiny bit of grated garlic or wasabi.
- 7
Since the fibers don't get stuck in the grater this way, clean-up is also very easy and hygienic.
- 8
You could also use aluminium foil, but there will be some waste. And even if you grate the ginger and lift up the foil, you are likely to get tiny foil particles mixed in with the ginger.

When I buy a bag of ginger, I always let some of it get moldy or go bad, which is a waste. So whenever I buy a whole bag, I like to cut it all up and freeze it.You can save some time and effort when you're cooking. It seems that some people chop it up finely and freeze it, but in our house we use julienned ginger the most.If you freeze julienned ginger, if you leave it out for a bit at room temperature, you can chop it up easily even if it's still a bit frozen.

How to Make Red Pickled Ginger
I love red pickled ginger, but I worry about the food coloring and additives in the store-bought type. It's also a shame to toss out the plum vinegar from making umeboshi. Simplifying the salting and drying process, I was able to produce a delicious red pickled ginger.There's nothing much to it. All of the amounts are approximate.Just a light sprinkle of salt and enough plum vinegar to cover the ginger.As a rule of thumb, the amount of salt should be 4% the amount of ginger, so you can approximate with the proportion of 100 g ginger to 4 g salt.
