    Ginger Beef Stir Fry

    September 3, 2018 by Elaine 4 Comments | Jump to Recipe

    Sichuan style ginger beef stir fry is a very popular dish in summer days when fresh ginger is just harvested.

    Ginger is believed to be able to beneficial to our body dehumidification and removing the coldness. So it is a universal rule to eat ginger inside China. I am a fresh ginger fan and use it very frequently in summer. It has a very short season so treasure your time with them.

    Comparing with old ginger, fresh ginger contains more water and less fibers. Consequently, the fresh ginger are much tender. And since fresh ginger has a low lever of ginger protease, so they are milder and less spicy.The most popular method of enjoying fresh ginger is to pickle them, either with vinegar or via a Sichuan style.  But inside Sichuan province, we love to fry dishes with fresh gingers. For example, ginger ducks, ginger beef or ginger liver.

      Elaine, I want to try this recipe. In the store how do I tell the difference between the new fresh ginger and the older ones?

      Thanks

        Steve,
        You can try to pinch it with your fingers. Fresh ginger has lots of water and the fiber is easy to break. While the older ones are quite dry and tough.

      Hi Elaine,

      I'm also having trouble getting fresh ginger. And if I do it's quite expensive. I've sometimes noted fresh sprouts on "old" ginger during summer. Have you ever tried to grow ginger yourself and if so do you have any advice on how to do this?

      Hi Elaine,

      you mention "ginger liver". I presume this is done using pork liver? Can I just use this recipe to prepare them or are they treated differently?

      By the way, if you have any other recipes using liver or kidneys of pork, cattle or chicken I'd be happy to try them out.
