How slice really thin ginger 姜丝




These are fried ginger shreds. Really crunchy! I usually fried some and keep it in an air-tight container. It can be use to top Steamed Fish, Braised Chicken, Noodle or even eat it on its own!

That's what my confinement lady did for me. She fried a container of ginger shred for me as titbits! She is really skilled in cutting it. They are really thin! I can't manage that. So how do I do it since I'm not as skillful? I cheat! Hahaha!

The trick is to use a peeler (hope that what it's call). We normally use it to slice the skin off fruit and vegetables. Yap, I use that! After I get really thin slices of ginger, I chop them into shreds. So much easier then.

Neat trick? Say you learn it here huh! *wink*



* See how think the ginger slices are - translucent! *
