Notes
- If using fresh ginger root, cut away some of the peel and finely grate the amount of ginger you need. Store the remaining nob of ginger root wrapped in plastic in your freezer, and pull it out whenever you need it.
- The 6-8 inch generic carrots we are most familiar with are called Danver carrots. You can use baby carrots or any variety of carrots you like for this recipe. Heirloom carrots are especially nice if you are making this side dish for the holidays.
- Fresh garlic is best for this recipe. It is best to store any remaining garlic in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it will last for up to 2 weeks.
