Notes
- You’ll want equal amounts of garlic and ginger. To achieve this, you could weigh them or just “eyeball it” which is what I do.
- After you have made this a number of times, you’ll find that sometimes ginger is more wet than others, just adjust your olive oil amount to make it as loose as you like.
- This recipe calls for kosher salt which has a larger grain than table salt. If you are using table salt, reduce the amount by at least ½.
- No food processor? Use a blender or other type of food chopper. If you have neither of these, use a microplane or the finest side of a box grater.
- Try this paste for any recipe where you would use minced garlic. The ginger gives a real fresh boost to the flavor of just plain garlic alone.
