I would just use the same amount because ginger paste is basically really finely miced ginger. Maybe cut down a slight amount if your not a huge fan of ginger.
Gingers are funny because they are different. Hehe
Avoid doing this. The proportions unbalance a recipe when you substitute ground for freshly grated ginger.
My recipe calls for fresh, chopped ginger, Can I use ground ginger & in what proportion. The recipe calls for 2 tsp. fresh chopped ginger?
When all else fails, go to "Joy of Cooking" --see "equivalents and or substitutions, and I quote: 1 Tsp raw ginger = 1/8 tsp pwd. This info is usually on the spice container, but I use a less expensive brand and it does not have the info. cmg
I was searching the net for this precise answer - I found your question before I found the answer! Anyway, if you're still looking for an answer I found another website that said a whole nutmeg yield 2 to 3 teaspoons of ground nutmeg.
It should be the same, but the fresh grated will taste better. The fresh will taste stronger, so if you want to get the same taste in your recipe, you have to use less. I'm am searching for an answer to how much less. I love fresh grated nutmeg, but I don't want it to overpower my baked goods.
It may be omitted from your recipe or replaced with a pinch of ground ginger. Or make your own by slicing fresh ginger one-eighth inch thick and cooking at a slow simmer in sugar syrup.http://homecooking.about.com/od/dessertrecipes/ht/crystalginger.htm
My mom gave me this recipe: 2/3 cup raw sugar 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour 1 tsp baking soda 6 tsp ground ginger 1/2 tsp salt 1 stick butter at room temp 1/4 cup molasses 2/3 cup sugar 1/4 cup grated fresh ginger 1 large egg 1-1/2 cups minced crystallized ginger zest of 1 orange or 2 lemons Place the raw sugar in a bowl and set aside. Mix flour, baking soda, ground ginger and salt. Melt butter in a pan; add molasses, sugar, fresh ginger. Then mix in the egg. Add to dry ingredients. Then add crystallized ginger and zest, then stir. For each cookie, take about a tablespoon of dough and roll it in a ball. Flatten a little, then dip it in the raw suger, pressing to coat it. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven on greased or parchment-covered cookie sheets for 8 to 10 minutes.
When a recipe calls for ginger and you do not have any, you can substitute another spice like mace in place of the ginger. Nutmeg is another spice that you can use. Replacing the ginger may change the taste of your recipe.
on the ground
yes, use about 1/3rd as much though, as it is more potent.
you can freeze almost anything There are several ways to freeze fresh Ginger. I have found by researching the web it is best to freeze without peeling. Seal tightly in plastic wrap then in heavy duty aluminum foil. Grate or cut according to your recipe while ginger is still frozen. I peel then grate my ginger and place in a line on plastic wrap. I roll the wrap tightly then twist the ends. If I am not planning on using it in a month, I add additional heavy duty aluminum foil. Since I make several rolls at a time, I place them side by side and wrap securely with the foil. Date and place in the freezer. Break off what you need, re-grate then reseal and freeze the rest. Ginger will take on the flavors of other foods so make sure it is sealed properly.
no the ground water is not always fresh.it depends in the place where a person lives.
