Chef's note

If using Very lazy ginger or the homemade version of the same thing, use the vinegar from that instead of white wine vinegar.

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.
