As the first poster indicated, it goes well for a sweet /spicy glaze for fish!. I use it on salmon with a soy, ginger, garlic and honey glaze!.
If you have ever had a Japanese salad, the dressing they make is a ginger dressing!. I love it!.
I use it as part of many stir fries that I make!.
Sometimes I just cut slices and give a quick saute and then remove from the oil just to flavor the oil for the dish!.
If you have ever made pot stickers, ginger is in the sauce and sometimes in the filling!.
If you are ambitious, pickle it (like the pickled ginger served with sushi)
I make a poached pear dessert with the pears (whole and peeled) poached in a wine / simple syrup flavored with ginger and vanilla!. Serve them with ice creamWww@FoodAQ@Com

I freeze fresh ginger, then slice off the amount I need and use it in many recipes!. It's great in baked goods such as spice cookies and fruit breads, marinades for meat, jams and jellies, smoothies, stir fry or many asian recipes, and fresh ginger salad dressing is out of this world! It doesn't take much for most recipes, so one large finger or even a hand of ginger goes far!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Freeze some to slice later for tea to use for nausea---a great addition to a frozen first-aid kit!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
