Made this with Turkey Hot Dogs. Loving it! Served it with fresh English peas and carrots. Everyone at work always wonders where I get such interesting lunches! Ha ha, I give Aarti all the credit.

Thanks, Rose!

Aarti – I also love that in the first picture on this post you can see Bren in the background as if he’s going “enough with taking pictures of the food already. give it here!”

Freezing ginger:

I prefer to chop it into small bits, so I can toss as much as I need straight into the pan.

Also, I spread the chopped ginger flat inside a freezer bag and when it is frozen, just shake it together to the bottom of the bag. It is handy to use this way as it is not clumped together into a big lump.
Just my way of doing things!!

thanks for the tip, aarti! i don’t mind buying ginger, it’s just that it always goes bad before I can use it all and that seems a waste. I’ll try freezing next time!

great!

a tip about fresh ginger — it’s pretty affordable if you buy a hunk of it… then peel it, slice it into coins and store it in the freezer. it’ll last forever, and cooks up just the same as the fresh stuff.

thanks for trying it!

I can’t wait to make this one! I couldn’t make last weeks because it required too many ingredients that I didn’t have on hand (thanks to GD2, I’m trying to use only what is already in my pantry). I substitute where I can. I’ll actualy need to use powdered ginger instead of fresh on this one… not the same, I know, but I have the rest of the ingredients on hand. I’ll let you know how it turns out.

FYI – I’ll be calling them Dogs a la Rose. Carter just calls hot dogs “Dogs”. I think it’s cute and somehow makes hot dogs sound better.
