yes, use about 1/3rd as much though, as it is more potent.
My recipe calls for fresh, chopped ginger, Can I use ground ginger & in what proportion. The recipe calls for 2 tsp. fresh chopped ginger?
Avoid doing this. The proportions unbalance a recipe when you substitute ground for freshly grated ginger.
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.
To substitute fresh ginger with ground ginger in a recipe, use 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger for every 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger called for in the recipe. Adjust the amount to taste, as ground ginger is more concentrated than fresh ginger.

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.
Ground ginger can NOT be substituted for crystallized ginger--that is something quite different. Otherwise, you are fairly safe to use ground, minced, and grated ginger interchangeably unless the ginger is being used for garnish purposes (sushi, for instance). The thing to remember is that ground ginger is exponentially more potent than fresh ginger. Ultimately it comes down to a matter of personal taste, but I rarely use more than a few pinches of the ground stuff.
It won't have the same flavor, obviously, but try a combination of cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.
No. Crushed ginger is 'wet'. Ground Ginger is a powder. They are not the same thing. You can substitute but would need to change quantities and the taste would be different.
A one inch piece of fresh, grated ginger (generally yielding 1 tablespoon) equals approximately 1/8 teaspoon ground (dried) ginger. Source: http://www.evitamins.com/healthnotes.asp?ContentID=3602003
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
One slice of fresh ginger typically weighs about 1 to 2 grams. In terms of ground ginger, you can use approximately 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon to equal the flavor of one slice of fresh ginger, depending on your taste preference. Ground ginger is more concentrated, so it's best to start with less and adjust as needed.
