As a rule, fresh ginger cannot be used interchangeably with dried, pickled or crystallized ginger. Available year-round, fresh ginger complements a wide variety of foods, from savory to sweet. In addition to classic Asian dishes, use it in creamy dips, salads, side dishes, sauces, soups, marinades and with meat, fish and poultry.
