Ginger
Ginger is one of the most widely used spices in the world.
It is essential for Asian and Indian dishes where it is used to season meat,
seafood and vegetables in many ways-from Indian curries, to Japanese marinades,
to Chinese stir-fry. In America, ginger has been used mainly in baking,
but it is increasingly being used to season a variety of other dishes. A
pinch of ginger is very nice to boost the flavor of salt-free dishes, and
ginger is also a flavorful addition to chicken soup, sauteed vegetables,
and roast chicken or pork. For flavorful grilled steak, rub ginger, garlic
and black or white pepper on meat, marinate a few hours before cooking.
