This ginger paste recipe offers a quick and easy way to create a smooth, aromatic ginger condiment using fresh ginger slices and neutral oil. Perfect for adding zest and spice to a variety of dishes, this homemade paste ensures a vibrant ginger flavor free from preservatives.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sliced ginger (washed, unpeeled) (140g)
  • 1/3 cup neutral oil – vegetable or olive

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Place your washed and sliced ginger along with the neutral oil into a mini blender or food processor. This preparation helps the ginger break down smoothly.
  2. Puree to Smooth Paste: Blend the mixture until it forms a smooth paste. If your blender is not very powerful, add half the ginger and all of the oil first, puree until smooth, then add the remaining ginger and blend again to ensure even texture.

Notes

  • Using unpeeled ginger keeps more nutrients and flavor intact.
  • If the paste is too thick, add a little more oil or a small amount of water to reach desired consistency.
  • Store ginger paste in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze in portions for longer storage.
  • Neutral oil like vegetable or light olive oil is preferred to preserve ginger’s aroma without overpowering it.
