No-Peel Ginger Stir Fry
Fresh ginger belongs in a stir-fry. But did you know you have an option? Sure, you can peel fresh ginger's skin off - but you can also skip the peel and add medallions of ginger to flavor the stir-fry oil, which in turn will flavor the entire dish. Take the ginger out before the rest of the ingredients are added and you'll still get ginger's dramatic lift. Since ginger's flavor fades as it cooks, you can decide if you want more gingery oomph and add some ginger near the end of cooking..
