An interesting accompaniment or side dish. Easy to make, especially if you've already made or bought some lazy ginger.

Chef's notes

Obviously fresh ginger would work just as well.

Peeling ginger

There is no need to peel ginger. As a result of attending a Thai cookery demo, we have learnt that peeling ginger is unnecessary unless for aesthetic purposes as the skin is high in fibre and full of flavour. However, do remove any bits that have become tough or woody.
