- * Hawaiian Ginger can be found at many farmers' markets from July through November. It has does not have a fibrous texture, which makes it an ease to use. When harvested this young, it has no well-formed outer skin and appears white & pink, not the typical yellow color. This "baby ginger" is harvested after only 4-6 months of growth. Enjoy this special ginger: the flesh is firm, succulent, fragrant, peppery and sweet. Any ginger will do in this recipe.
- ** I love Lovira Roasted Peanut Oil. It's non-GMO and milder than Sesame Oil. Find in Health Food Shops or Better Grocers.
