Ginger Mix Recipe


Ingredients :
125 g very young and fresh ginger
5 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1.5 tablespoon sesame oil
3 tablespoons sesame seeds
12 cloves garlic, sliced
Salt to taste

Method :
Use a sharp knife to scrape the skin off the ginger and cut into very thin slices. Then cut the slices into fine strips. Marinate the ginger strips in lemon juice for an hour and it will turn pink. Use a small frying pan to heat up the peanut oil. Fry the sliced garlic in slow heat until pale golden. Remove and drain on absorbent paper. Allow to cool and become crisp.

Use a frying pan to toaste the sesame seeds over moderate heat until golden brown. Set aside on a plate to cool. When time to serve, drain the marinated ginger and put in a bowl. Add salt to taste and sprinkle with garlic and sesame seeds. Toss lightly to mix.
