Put in a freezer bag and shave off what you as you need it

Love, u/weed

Boil it, mash it, stick it in a stew

You can grate it all & freeze it in small cubes.

Edit: or use some to grow more.

Ginger tea! Chicken noodle soup! Ginger soy glazed Cornish Hens :)

Peel, slice thin and pickle for sushi

A lot of good ideas here. I also slice it thin and bit into it when I have heartburn. a few months ago, a piece about that size fell behind something and when I found it all shriveled up (but saw a single bud), I put it in a little window box outside my kitchen, with a thin layer of soil over it and watered it. I now have 3 ginger plants/stalks.

Slice 12 thin slices, and pound with the side of the knife to make juicy, then boil and simmer, strain then add honey... beautiful, spicy Ginger Tea...

Spicy carrot soup!

Consume the ginger heart to gain it’s strength

A little knob of ginger is amazing when added to your juicing regimen.

If it's organic, you can make ginger beer.

Tea. Lemon, ginger and honey make a fabulous tea. I like putting a bit of ginger in my chai tea.

You can use it along with garlic in a paste for most Indian and asian dishes.

I’ve never tried but apparently it freezes well too.

Freeze it, then when you need it grate it into your food.

Google "Figging ginger"

You can always freeze ginger no problem

Put in wet soil and be like what did I just grow in a few weeks.

Nurture it and give it a good home!

I always keep ginger root in my fridge and when I’m feeling nauseous I cut off a small piece and eat it. Makes me feel better within 10 minutes

I eat it raw skin on for all the health benefits

Throw it at a red head and say tag your IT!!

Shave it into a tall, ice filled glass of ginger ale, add a squeeze of lime juice

Batter and fry it. Then leave it out for someone to assume it’s fried chicken.

You can freeze it and one thing it’s fantastic for is nausea. But it’s also obviously fantastic for many other things, but I would save some just for that and if somebody gets nauseous, they can chew on it as is almost instantaneous.

Could always try figging.

Thank Christ it’s ginger

Figging

Wrap in that foil and roast in the oven at 350 for about 40 minutes and then put it into a bottle of vodka. Let it sit for about a month and you will have ginger flavored vodka! You can, if you want dilute the vodka with simple syrup to make a ginger liqueur.

Use for tea

Make highly concentrated tea and put it in an ice cube tray. Prepared ginger cubes.

Put it in a blender and then freeze it in mini ice tray so you have lil ginger cubes.

Tea

Cuurryyy

Honey ginger chicken!

You could make one of my favorite beverages, Ginger Dragon! Dice the ginger and steep it in a pitcher with almost boiling water. Add a half cup of honey and a half cup of (preferably fresh) lemon juice, then add more to taste if you like. (I like a little more but some folks like it less intense)

It’s really good hot or cold, but man a nice hot cup really hits when you’re sick (good for tummy stuff and for colds/cingestion!) or just in general on a cold fall or winter day. ❤️ it’s addicting stuff!

You can strain out the ginger bits after a day or two if you don’t want the chunks, but I kinda of like them as an extra little spicy bite. 🥰

Depends on whether you are looking for spells or recipes. Soooooooo many possibilities!

Make a simple syrup with it and use it to make cocktails, soda, lemonade, sweet tea ect

I ABSOLUTELY love adding fresh ginger to sweet tea when I’m boiling the water. It’s a complete game changer in my eyes. I will NEVER make tea without it again. About a 1-2 inch cube just roughly chopped up and add it to the water, then strain it out at the end.

Make some awesome tea. The more it is boiled the more spicy it gets. Good for the tummy. Add some honey. Delish!

Definitely good for making stock or broth. I use it in Thai and Indian recipes. Gets mushy in the fridge after a while, so freezing is good.

Ever heard of a practice called “figging?”

One of the many gems I’ve learned from Reddit posts over the years.

pre workout

make some teriyaki chicken with it

It lasts weeks in the fridge(or freeze it like other people said). And pretty much any Asian recipe will call for ginger.

Add to (sweet) smoothies for a kick

It will last for a month in your fridge. You can freeze it just fine as well

Ginger bug!

I've left it in my spice cupboard for weeks and it never went bad.

I didn't peel it though.

Make a paste of it and freeze it in portions by Mixing with olive oil and or herbs and put into icecube trays. Once frozen put in a baggy to use as needed in all kinds of recipes. Also you could grind up or thinly slice and dehydrate it.

Punishment?

Ginger coconut rice

Portion it out, peel the skin, then freeze it. Ginger is one of the things you can actually freeze to extend its life. Ginger is also hard to use up so portioning it out is a great option.

Ginger bug for ginger beer.

There is an old wives tale to do with sticking into a horses Anus, but I cannot remember reason why. I either dreamt it or saw it on QI.

Purée it with equal amounts of garlic. Add chilli powder, Tandoori masala salt n pepper and oil and it’ll be the perfect marinade for chicken to throw on the BBQ. If not the BBQ take the marinaded chicken and dip it in garam masala flour mix for the perfect take away style pakora! While you’re at it, make vegetable pakora and also onion bajis!

Chicken curry 🍛 dinner with rice and vegetables.

I blend ginger, with lil water in bullet then freeze it in lce trays later toss cube in smoothies, soups, salsas, ect...

Juice it, make a simple sugar with ot and blend it onto lemon juice=ginger lemonade. Yummiest

Put it in a pot with soil, and get more ginger

, could I freeze or infuse it into olive oil? Gand me le le chup chap

Gingerbeer!!!

a small batch of ginger ale

Slice it and boil it for tea. Ginger has a lot of healthy benefits

I freeze mine and grate as needed. So much easier

It freezes well.

Gingers are soulless Devil spawn... Oh, you mean the root.

Ginger is in our juice routine. Otherwise, I don't know what it's used in.

Boof it

I've always wondered.... with a texture pretty close to a potato... what would happen if you cooked a chunk of ginger like that, like a baked potato? Would it mellow and sweeten like a sweet potato? Would it just get stronger? Would it be awesome mixed in some sweet potato puree? ....I'm very curious.

Ask the professor?

Boof it… I hear that’s what all the kids are doing now a days

Juice bits of it and mix it into green tea!

Take it with you on a 3 hour boat tour.

Make pickled ginger.

Shred it or grind it

Steep some of it in a good quality milk, strain, and mix with a nice jigger of brandy.

Roast some acorn squash with a ginger soy glaze

Makes awesome tea if you like tea! It’s quite spicy and very fulfilling

You could make some ginger liqueur if that’s your jam:

Palliate fermentative dyspepsia. This is when food is not digested properly, resulting in pain gas and sulfur burps. Fresh ginger works.

Teach it to play guitar. Kidnap and stash away Ed Sheeran. Send ginger up instead. Keep all ticket revenue.

Freeze most of it in individual ziploc bags save any part that looks like it is turning green and plant them.

Freeze it

Peel, slice thin, and then pickle

Impractical Jokers want you to put it up your ass and to the left!

Hope it doesn’t steal your soul?

find a tea back mixed it with honey & lemon. honey lemon ginger tea. good for your respiratory system

Mince with garlic, water for curry base

Juice it. Do ginger shots. Appreciate the lack of subtlety as you consider the choices that brought you to this singular experience.

Get heartburn

Juice!

Throw that shit away and I’ll buy you something better.

I just use what I use and keep it on the counter. The exposed area dries out and it keeps perfectly.

Prep some ginger shots!

Cook a huge pot of pho

Crystallize/candy it. I plan to do this with monkfruit sugar in the very near future. Best part is, you can use the leftover syrup for teas, etc.

Either microplane it into a paste and jar it properly for long-term storage (in the fridge). Ferment it or pickle it. Otherwise, freeze it.

Or use it to make bao! I just made some, and it was delicious 😋

MESH EM, BOIL EM, STICK EM IN STEW

Make good soup

If you wannabe it’s love, you gotta get with it’s friends

Peel it, slice it thinly, and cook it with water and suger to make candied ginger. Then you could grind it down to use in ginger snaps!

Make ginger beer. Only need lemon, water and suger. And the ginger starter lol

Peel abs freeze it. Then when you want to use it, just use it on a cheese grater

Make it a juice then drink it. 🙏🤍✋

That’s a healthy knob. Try finger tea or juice shot.

Both, and more! No rules when it comes to ginger, just that it's easier to scrap the skin of with a spoon. Could even grow more with a knobbed piece, if you wanted!

Toss it on a blender with garlic and olive oil. The resulting paste will keep for quite a long time in the fridge

Tea

Freeze it. Use a micro plane to grate it finely when frozen, and then back to the freezer. No need to thaw when using a micro plane.

Make ginger snap cookies?

add it to tea, all NESW Asian recipes or Ayurvedic recipe to help with this years flu season…

grate the ginger finely then squeeze out the water into a clean bowl. Add honey to the ginger shot and take it. Literally a ginger shot but it helps immunity and helps dissolve mucus build up. Take like 1 teaspoon 3x a day.

With the actual ginger that’s grated, infuse it or make it into a paste and freeze it. I personally love to dehydrate it and add to holiday cakes/cookies. It’s SO yummy 🤤

Plant some!

Cut it in squares boil it with some sugar, you’ll end up with candied ginger, or you can jar it up after you boil it with sugar and lemon and you have jar of something you can just put into hot water and you have ginger tea

You can also break a bit off and plant it. Endless ginger

Make a nice hot tea. Use it in soups. Or in some bomb garlic ginger lemon chicken!

Use my potato peeler on the skin

Everyone jabbers about a spoon but I can peel items terrific with muscle memory

Spoon seems harder

SOUP

Box of chicken broth in a pot

Grate some ginger into pot

Add a few chopped scallions

Pepper

Boil,

Whisk an egg into it

Voila , egg drop soup

Dice and drained water chestnuts are good addition as well

Give it a soul?

Look up ‘figging’.

Put it with lemon in hot water, it’s a very very healthy drink and helps with cold and flu, I drink it every year in the winter

3 sliced per cup, boiling water over it, tea done

You could grow more ginger if you like

eat it raw

I love ginger

Plant it.

Wear it on your head like a hat!

Why does it look like a huge turd

Did you buy ginger from your drug dealer?

Juice it and mix it with lime juice for the best freaking drink you’ll ever have

I keep asking the same question about my wife.

Chop it into pieces and freeze

Try putting a few large slices into soups to kick them to the left level (don't eat the slices, just take them out)

Also really good to use a bit of ginger when cooking meat.

A piece that would last about a month for my wife and I

Fig it.

I juice it and add it to tea.

Dude I thought that was shit 😂😂

Make tea!!!!

Throw it away!

It lasts for a long time just breaking fingers off it. I buy massive pieces and just break a lil off when I need

I would cut it up, shave the skin and place it in a jar full of sherry. After awhile you can pour some of the sherry into recipes and/or use the soaked ginger into recipes as well. If you use a lot of the sherry you can always add more to cover it again and then keep using it till the ginger is gone. It will keep in the refrigerator for a long time.

I genuinely thought I was looking at dog shit for a moment WTF

You can make ginger tea.

Make some good tea. As you pour the boiling watervinto your cup, have a few slices chopped up in the bottom. Also add a little honey.

Ginger is very good for stomach issues, soothing, and has many great qualities.

You can also just make ginger and lemon hot tea also. With or without actual tea.

When you stirring fry chicken, add julienned or small diced pieces of ginger. You always shave off the skin.

If you don't want to consume it, make the slices whole so you can pick it out. But again, it's good for your insides.

My GF (Vietnamese) has a thousand uses for ginger.

Ginger shallot sauce

Freeze and shave as needed!

Don't consume too much of it though per day, as they are blood thinners and help lower blood pressure.

Had personal experience and felt giddy after having too much of it once.

You can make an elixir for colds and flu season, I don’t have a recipe handy but it’s not hard, you can also candy some of it if you know anyone who is dealing with nausea ginger is good for that to. It’s a very strong taste so unless you are taste testing it, follow the instructions carefully. Good luck and enjoy!

Plant it!

You can make a healthy ginger tea. Peel it, mash it a bit, add some black pepper corns, cinnamon stick and turmeric, boil it all for 20-30 minutes then strain. Can be drank right away or bottled and put in the fridge for later. I drink it like this, some like to add some honey.

Sell it to a red-headed step child if you can convince them it’s a soul…

Ginger lemon rice with soy sauce 💯

Ever seen Pan’s Labyrinth?

Make some ginger ale

Make ginger jam/marmelade! Yumyumyum

Plant it! Always nice to have more foliage around.

Plant it and get a whole new crop from it!

Ask Mary ann

Throw it in the trash. Lol. I don't care for ginger.

Ginger jam maybe? Just a thought"

Put it in some dirt and water it, they make nice house plants
