I'm not sure how much it does. Usually there are chunks of it that you really notice, but I don't know if it does anything other than when you chew a chunk.

>>18645166
The best way to know what it does is this:

Do the same recipe in two pans. In one, leave out the ginger. In the other, use 5 times more than the recipe calls for.

I use it for tea. I also enjoy the pickled ginger one gets at sushi places.

/ck/ once again filtered by buying watery trash instead of the real thing, like dragonfruit and many others

There's some cases where I've noticed a big difference -- one recipe for a Japanese vegetable fry (daikon I think?) specified taking the time to brown the ginger in the pan before working in the other spices and sauces. That definitely made the nutty aroma coming through the sauce very different from a similar sauce with just ginger tossed in that I had made the previous day.

AmericasTestKitchen's pumpkin pie recipe uses fresh about a tablespoon? I think of fresh ginger instead of whatever amount of dried, and pried theirs on not tasting "overspiced" -- I actually think that makes a big difference. I wonder however if browning the ginger in a pan beforehand would change it much next time.

All spices are situational, ginger is a staple with steamed fish.

Raw or lightly stir fried ginger has a very obvious and delicious flavor.
But when it comes to curry, where its minced and sauteed with garlic and onion, i actually do struggle to perceive what difference it makes.

>>18645166
if you can't taste ginger you might actually need medical help. it has an extremely distinct flavor.

>But when it comes to curry
I agree -- half the curry recipes I see online omit ginger. That said, I usually add it anyway, since it has nice nutritional value, it's not terribly tough to prepare, and you can buy a big bag of the little rejected chunks at a discount from the local grocery store, which I can't use fast enough anyway, so might as well just burn it when I can.

>>18645166
Are you sure you're cramming it in correctly?

>>18646274
The difference is not that garlic and onion overpower it

The difference is that ginger flavor is very heat sensitive and easy to destroy, much like how horse radish becomes significantly milder when you heat it up.

If you want ginger flavor in your curry, you add it late in the cooking process.

Besides planned obsolescence sort of mercantilism, I don't know why they still haven't added a more rubbery plastic or dense silicone layer at the front of the handle fill to absorb some of the shock before it gets to the harder plastic. It seems like it'd be a relatively cheap and easy fix for a lot of improvement.

You’re supposed to cram it doofus!
