Hi Karen, I would assume it is the same ground ginger, because the ground ginger used for baking is just dried, ground ginger root 🙂
If I had fresh ginger, I’d probably use that in any recipe that called for this spice mix. But if I was intending to store the spice mix, I’d just use the ground ginger. Hope that helps.
Question: I assume that the ground ginger to be used here is not the ground ginger used in baking. I buy ginger root all the time for cooking. Do I need to take a piece and dry it first before grinding for this recipe? Please advise. Thank you.
Hi this seasoning sounds wonderful, would you call it a Southeast Asian Spice blend I have been trying so hard to replicate the Hello Fresh (SEA spice blend).
Can I use fresh lemongrass since I have a plant ?
So you put in a total of 4 tsp. dried lemon zest if you don’t have lemongrass?
I was wondering that as well. Does appear that way.
Where do you get dried lemon zest? Or is it make your own?
Yes, I’ve seen it at the store! I imagine it’s cheap and easy to make your own though. Bet there’s a video out there on that….
Great vegan recipes to keep you eating happy and healthy!
I just tried this and it was delicious! Instead of using plant milk, I put in a couple scoops of plain/original hummus. (About 1/4 cup). It lightened up the color of the soup and tasted sooooooooo good! Highly recommend!
I would have never thought of using hummus in soup. I have some hummus I made earlier in the week & didn’t know what to do with it other than freezing it. What a great idea! I’ll be using it tonight for dinner, thank you!
I never thought to use hummus in soup, wow… thank you!
