Ginger slices are commonly used ingredients made by slicing washed ginger. They have both seasoning, therapeutic and practical values, with the core characteristics of being "fresh, spicy, deodorizing, convenient and easy to use".

Form and Flavor

After slicing, it appears in thin slices, with a bright yellow or light yellow color. The meat is firm and juicy, with a rich ginger aroma and a fresh and spicy taste. The spiciness is mild and not irritating, which can neutralize the fishy smell of the ingredients and enhance the flavor.

Nutrition and value

Rich in nutrients such as gingerol, curcumin, vitamin C and potassium, gingerol can promote digestion and warm the body, while curcumin has antioxidant effects. According to traditional Chinese medicine, it is warm in nature and pungent in taste, and belongs to the lung, spleen and stomach meridians. It has the functions of relieving the exterior and dispelling cold, as well as warming and stopping vomiting.

Application scenarios

When stir-frying, stewing meat or making soup, adding 2 to 3 slices of fresh ginger can remove the fishy smell and enhance the freshness. For instance, when stir-frying shredded pork, stewing ribs or cooking fish soup, ginger slices are an essential seasoning. Adding a few slices or shreds of ginger to cold dishes can not only enhance the aroma but also inhibit bacteria.
