I thought this shacha sauce, which contains ginger, was delicious.  Shacha Sauce (Bullhead Sha Cha Copycat) | I Heart Umami®

IDK many specific recipes but it goes well in a lot of dishes. I need to use it more. I used to love crystallised ginger as a sweet.

Ginger generates a lot of heat, so my favorite version of masala chai latte in winter is adding dry ginger powder or a  fresh ginger piece, cardamom, fennel seeds and sometimes a pepper corn to the tea.

Some ginger know-how I didn't learn till late in life.  

• ginger can be easily peeled with the back of a spoon
• you can freeze ginger and then grate it easily with a microplane grater
• goes great with carrot, say in a soup or a salad dressing

This one + kimchi (spicy-pungent great for tonifying the Lung & Large Intestine):

 

Ginger chicken congee with kimchi
 

Feel free to replace chicken with "shiitake mushrooms."

 

For 1 serving ---> Use 4 cups thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms.

 

Enjoy!

I regularly make this soup in winter. You can add as much grated ginger as you like!

As sweets, I do cook my own pastries & desserts. This one is Central European but its origins are a lot older than that (Middle Eastern).

 

Pear Strudel (with homemade dough)

 

I normally replace the cranberries with other dried berries like sultanas or currants or a combination of these two since I'm not a big fan cranberry fan.

 

Ginger is missing in that recipe but what I do is add a 2-inch/5cm minced ginger root to the filling ingredients. Ginger adds a nice layer of depth and spiciness to the strudel.

 

Guten Appetit!
