How to Cut Ginger Garlic

Ginger and garlic are important ingredients in a lot of recipes, but they are both tough to cut up. Some people find it difficult to chop ginger or garlic, and others simply dislike the way they stick to their hands when they cut them up.

To make things easier, try cutting ginger or garlic into little cubes. If you have a sharp knife, this is fairly easy to do. Just use your knife to slice the ginger or garlic into thin slices, and then stack these slices up and cut them across. This will produce small cubes of ginger or garlic which should be fine for most recipes.

If you don’t have a sharp knife or if you are still having trouble cutting the ginger or garlic into cubes, you can also try using the edge of your knife to smash the ginger or garlic before cutting it up. This will break down the fibers in the ginger or garlic a bit more than slicing alone does, and makes it easier to cut it into small pieces.

Ginger and garlic are often used together in cooking, so it makes sense to learn how to prepare them at the same time. This simple how-to guide will teach you a technique for cutting both of them at the same time.

Steps

How to Cut Ginger. The first step in learning how to cut ginger is to select a fresh “hand” of ginger root. The ginger hand should be firm and heavy for its size. As with many other foods, the fresher the better. If you have purchased a piece of ginger with some green shoots, you can plant it in your kitchen garden. In several months you will have more fresh ginger.

You will need a sharp knife and a cutting board. Cut off what you need from the hand of ginger; peel it if necessary (depending on your recipe) and then lay the portion flat on the cutting board. Press down firmly with your hand or with a cleaver and make thin slices going across the portion at an angle, being careful not to cut yourself. Then rotate the slanted piece of ginger 90 degrees; this time make thin slices vertically going down through the angled slices, creating tiny cubes of ginger.

You will also need a sharp knife and cutting board for cutting garlic. Select a clove that is large enough for your purposes and press down firmly with the flat side of your knife blade or with a clever to loosen the skin from the garlic clove. Peel off the skin; if it doesn’t come off

We all know how to cut ginger and garlic by using a knife, but there is an alternative way which I think is a lot easier and safer.

Step 1

Cut off the knobby bit of either ginger or garlic. Next, peel off the skin with your fingers. Do not use a vegetable peeler because you will lose some of the ginger or garlic.

Step 2

Use a fork to scrape off the skin of ginger or garlic. It is easy and you don’t lose any flesh at all! This method also works well with potatoes which are difficult to peel with a vegetable peeler.

Step 3

Once peeled, use a sharp knife to cut it into pieces. If you want to grate it, first cut it into smaller pieces so that grating will be easier.

Ginger and garlic come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but are most often found in the shape of a bulb. These bulbs have many layers, with each layer containing an individual clove. Cutting these bulbs down to the right size will allow you to use them in recipes as needed.

Ginger and garlic are two of the most popular items in the kitchen. They both have a very strong aroma and are used in almost every type of cuisine. These two spices are different from each other. Garlic is a hard spice that needs to be crushed to release its flavor, while ginger is a soft spice that can be cut into pieces or grated.
