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! *

ReplyDeleteWont lah. At least it's easier than slicing with a knife :p I can never do that. Not up to that standard yet. :p
I have this peeler too! Think exact same one! Japanese one right?
ReplyDeleteVery good!
