In order to preserve mine, I usually pre-mince them and keep them in the refrigerator ready to be used. As you might have seen in some of my previous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=omVg-pqqyyM\">recipe<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/MG_6HnQtKt4\">videos<\/a>, I very often have my jar of pre-minced ginger on hand. This saves me a lot of time whenever I need it for use in recipes.<br><a name=\"more\"><\/a><br>While minced ginger or garlic are usually readily available in grocery stores nowadays, making your own at home is not only cheaper but it does not take a lot of time and you can make it without any preservatives or additives like salt, oil or vinegar. The taste also remains fresh if you store it properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, here are a few tips on how I prepare, mince and store ginger. You can do the same for garlic too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_45966\"  width=\"980\" height=\"551\"  data-origwidth=\"980\" data-origheight=\"551\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IVVk7CtXNpo?enablejsapi=1&#038;list=PLqZ7FSltmK4Ud7mfk9h_6NLfL1IDdujNa&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After washing the ginger roots, I like to peel them using either a small spoon or paring knife or a vegetable peeler. If you are using organic ginger, you may skip the peeling. In fact, my mum rarely peels her ginger and she grinds garlic together with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I very rarely use garlic in my food because I am quite sensitive to it but if you use it, then you could mince the garlic together with the ginger in equal amounts.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/veganlovlie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/minced_ginger03b.webp \"  type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/veganlovlie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/minced_ginger03b.jpg\" class=\" sp-no-webp\" alt=\"How to Pre-Mince, Prepare, Preserve & Store ginger or garlic\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>So, in that case, you would also peel the garlic first and then blend it together with the ginger with a little filtered water to help the blending process. It is important to use filtered water so that the minced ginger will last longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also use boiled water but you\u2019ll have to wait until the water is completely cooled before adding it to the ginger.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/veganlovlie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/minced_ginger04b.webp \"  type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/veganlovlie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/minced_ginger04b.jpg\" class=\" sp-no-webp\" alt=\"How to Pre-Mince, Prepare, Preserve & Store ginger or garlic\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Be mindful if mixing garlic and ginger together, sometimes the mixture might turn a greenish or aqua colour due to trace metals or other compounds in tap water which boiling does not remove. That\u2019s why I prefer to use filtered water. But in any case, even with the colour change, the garlic or ginger paste is still safe to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just use as little water as needed to process the ginger then pour the paste into a clean jar. Make sure always to use a clean spoon when removing the ginger paste from the jar then immediately place the jar back in the refrigerator after each use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The minced ginger can last for up to 6 weeks and sometimes even more if kept properly.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/veganlovlie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/minced_ginger06.webp \"  type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/veganlovlie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/minced_ginger06.jpg\" class=\" sp-no-webp\" alt=\"How to Pre-Mince, Prepare, Preserve & Store ginger or garlic\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Enjoy the convenience of having pre-minced ginger or garlic ready to be used whenever needed.
