Recipes with Ginger
8 recipes
There are 8 recipes here that use Ginger, and every one of them is scored against what is actually in your fridge before it is shown. The quickest is Eggs in Padang-Style Sauce at 30 minutes; the longest, Rice Cooker Chicken Congee, takes 60.
None of these need an oven, an air fryer, or a microwave — a stove and a pan is enough. 1 are vegetarian. 4 have no chili at all, so they work for children. 3 are properly spicy.
Ginger turns up most often alongside Lemongrass, Kaffir lime leaf, Lime and Turmeric — if you have one or two of those as well, more of this list becomes cookable tonight rather than after a shopping trip. Add what you have to your fridge and the recipes reorder themselves around it, with anything missing collected into a shopping list.
