Okay, cool! That's not hard at all, and sounds delicious. How do you tell if the ginger at the store is fresh? I have pretty limited options as far as who i can buy from, unfortunately.

You know, I'm not entirely sure, it just seemed really... obvious to me, when I handled the ginger root. It's firm, not soft or mushy, and sort of has the feel of a really crisp carrot or stalk of cauliflower. The spot where the root was cut will be dry and darkened, but if you buy from a place where you're paying by the pound rather than by the piece, you can snap a piece off or something and see ... well, first of all, if it will snap off instead of bend. The inside should have a fairly juicy white/yellow flesh, possibly with a darker grayish ring (or a blue ring - there's a hawaiian variety like that) near the edge. If it's dry or rubbery, move on. ;)

If you can't break off a piece, then just flex it a little and see that it feels more like it would break than bend... and I've heard also that as it gets older and drier, the skin shrivels. I've never seen this myself, but I wouldn't doubt it. (And regarding the peel, the internet suggested using a spoon to peel ginger rather than a knife, and after being skeptical? Yes. Spoon is plenty, and wastes none of the ginger.)

OKay, cool. That all makes sense, really. Thank you! :)
