aromatic
Ginger
Adrak
2.5 g1 teaspoon
8 g1 tablespoon
12 g1 2.5 cm (1 inch) piece
A 2.5 cm fresh knob weighs ~12 g; finely grated fresh ginger is ~2.5 g per tsp.
Instead of Ginger
Fresh gingerUse equal weight; scrape off the skin and grate or finely julienne according to the recipe.
Ginger pasteUse equal weight; stir straight into the sizzling aromatics, taking care as the extra moisture may spit.
Ground gingerUse 15 to 20% of the weight; add alongside ground spices, noting it imparts warm, dry heat rather than zesty freshness.
