Thanks to a neat little Cook's Illustrated Book, Kitchen Hacks, I can share with you a hack for storing ginger in 2 ways.
Peel and cut your ginger up into 1 inch pieces – pop it into a jar and cover with sherry. You can store this for several months in the fridge – and you can use the sherry in Asian dishes.
The other way is to cut unpeeled ginger up into pieces and then freeze it in bags – take what you need out when you need it. You can let it thaw or even grate it frozen.
Ohmygosh thank you! I didn't know you could freeze it!!! Yay no more moldy hands of ginger in the crisper drawer!!!!
