Step 1
Fresh ginger root has a very thin, light brown skin that must be removed. Although it's easiest to peel when the root is frozen, you can also quickly remove the skin quickly from a fresh piece of ginger root. Simply slice off as much as you think you'll need and then run a thin-lipped teaspoon over the edge of the root. The skin will come right off in ribbons.

Step 2
Once the skin is removed, slice the root into thin coins. The coins can be further sliced into matchsticks or a fine dice.

Step 3
You can also add ginger flavor without any texture by juicing the root. Extract juice from a small piece of ginger by putting it through a garlic press. A juicer can handle much bigger chunks and extra juice can be frozen in ice cube trays.
