Ginger is an indispensable seasoning in our kitchen. When we stir-fry, we will put a little ginger on our hands. Especially when making dishes with fishy smell of meat, we will add more. Ginger can play a role in removing fishy smell and increasing fragrance. Not only that, if you catch a cold in , we can also give you a cup of ginger and red date tea to warm your stomach and drive away the cold! Ginger has many functions in our lives, so we often buy some ginger and put it at home, but if you buy ginger home, it will be particularly easy to dry out or even rot if you put it aside. So today I will share with you a few ways to preserve ginger so that your ginger will not break even after being left for a year!
Method 1: Save salt. The ginger we buy home will have some mud and sand on it. Before storing, you need to clean the mud and sand on the surface of the ginger. Then prepare another bowl, pour a spoonful of salt into the bowl, then add water, stir to make the salt dissolve fully.
Then we soak the ginger that needs to be saved in salt water for 10 minutes. Salt water has the effect of sterilization and disinfection, and can eliminate bacteria on the surface of ginger, so that the ginger will not be damaged easily when preserved.
After soaking the ginger, take it out and place it in a ventilated place to dry the moisture on its surface. Next, we only need to take a piece of plastic wrap and wrap the entire ginger in plastic wrap, so that the ginger will be in a vacuum state. We only need to place it in a cool and ventilated place, so that the ginger will not break even after being stored for half a year.
In addition, if the ginger we usually use to cook and the remaining small pieces need to be preserved, we can dip the cut of the ginger with salt, and then place it on the kitchen windowsill, so that the stored ginger will not break for a few days, and it is also very convenient to use!
Method 2: Save in the refrigerator. Similarly, clean the ginger and dry the moisture, and then cut the ginger into slices or shreds of ginger according to your needs.
Then take a freshener box with a lid, put the cut ginger inside, cover the lid, and put it directly into the freezer in the refrigerator to store, so that the stored ginger will not break even after being left for a year! When you want to eat, take it out and put it in the pot. It does not need to be thawed or cleaned. It can be taken as you eat. It is very convenient. This method is also the most commonly used method I use, which is both simple and easy to use.
Method 3: Soil burial method. This method requires sand. If there is sand at home, you can try this method. First prepare a container or flower pot, and then pour the sand inside. Then just bury the ginger directly inside. The purchased ginger does not need to be cleaned, but the ginger must be completely buried in the sand so that the stored ginger can be left for a long time and will not rot.
Method 4: Save the rice. We can also use rice to preserve ginger. After washing the ginger and drying the water, we buried it directly into the rice. The rice can be used to isolate the air, and the rice is also very dry. We bury the ginger in the rice to preserve the water of the ginger without losing it. In this way, the ginger will not break or sprout after being stored for half a year. If today's article is helpful to you, click one to follow and one to like, thank you for your support.
