It’s not the same as the fresh ginger you’d grate into a stir-fry — drying changes it, deepening the flavour and giving it more heat.

Drop a few slices into hot water, leave them to steep, and you’ll have a strong, warming drink in minutes. Add honey, lemon, or even a stick of cinnamon if you prefer something rounder. In soups and stews, dried ginger root adds a steady background heat that works well with vegetables, chicken, or tofu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1983\" data-end=\"2235\"\u003eYou can also crush or grind the slices if you want a fresher ginger powder for baking or spice blends.
