Diced Fresh Ginger

Ginger is a little different then other aromatics because of its fibrous structure.  This is how I Finely dice ginger.

the piece of ginger in this demo is big and pretty evenly shaped.  Usually there a lot of branches shooting off of the main tuber. 

If you have branches just slice them off and use the bigger meatier main branch.  Any branches you slice off you can use in the same manner.

First slice off then ends squaring them off and removing any dried part.

Then carefully slice the sides off creating a rectangle.

Carefully slice off any remaining skin or dried pieces.

 

 

Slice along the length of the rectangle making long thin sheets of ginger

Stack the pieces and slice lengthwise again to create little rectangle strips of ginger

Pile the strips up and cut across the length to create little cubes.

Use a fine mince rocking chop to further dice the ginger.
