Not all ginger is created equal. When you’re at the market, look for a piece that’s smooth and firm, with shiny skin—nothing wrinkly or soft like a forgotten potato. If it’s already sprouting little green nubs, it’s still usable, but it’ll be a bit tougher and less flavorful (think of it as ginger’s “hangry” phase). Give it a sniff, too; fresh ginger smells bright and peppery, like a promise of something delicious.
