Frequently Asked Questions About Garlic ginger
What is garlic ginger mixture used for?
Garlic ginger mixture is used as an aromatic base for stir-fries, curries, soups, sauces and marinades. Its fresh, pungent flavour works especially well in dishes where garlic and ginger are cooked together.
How do you make garlic ginger mixture at home?
To make garlic ginger mixture, peel fresh garlic and ginger, then finely grate, crush or blend them together. Equal amounts are a useful starting point; adjust the balance to make the blend more garlicky or gingery.
How long does garlic ginger mixture last in the fridge?
Homemade garlic ginger mixture keeps best in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator and should be used within a few days. Always use a clean spoon, and discard it if you notice mould, an off smell or a change in colour.
Can you freeze garlic ginger mixture?
Yes, garlic ginger mixture freezes well in small portions. Freeze it in an ice-cube tray, then transfer the solid portions to a sealed container. Add a frozen portion straight to a pan when cooking, rather than thawing and refreezing the batch.
Is garlic ginger mixture the same as ginger-garlic paste?
Yes, garlic ginger mixture is essentially ginger-garlic paste when both ingredients are crushed or blended into a paste. Recipes may vary in their proportions and may include oil or water, so check whether a recipe calls for a plain blend or a seasoned paste.
When should you add garlic ginger mixture to a stir-fry?
Add garlic ginger mixture to the hot pan after the oil warms, and cook it briefly before adding the other ingredients. Keep the heat moderate and stir constantly, because the garlic can burn quickly and turn bitter.
Can garlic ginger mixture be used to make tea?
Yes, you can stir a small amount of garlic ginger mixture into hot water, though its flavour is much sharper than ginger alone. Let the drink cool slightly before adding honey, and do not treat it as a cure for illness.
Do you need to peel ginger for garlic ginger mixture?
Peeling the ginger gives garlic ginger mixture a smoother texture and cleaner flavour. Wash the ginger first and scrape off its thin skin with the edge of a spoon; peel the garlic cloves before crushing or blending them.
Does garlic ginger mixture help with a cold?
No, garlic ginger mixture has not been shown to cure a cold. A warm drink containing it may feel soothing, but it does not replace rest or appropriate medical care if symptoms are severe or persistent.
Can garlic ginger mixture replace fresh garlic and ginger in a recipe?
Yes, garlic ginger mixture can replace separately prepared fresh garlic and ginger when a recipe uses both. Add it gradually, since the blend may have a different ratio and moisture level than the ingredients listed separately.

What is Garlic ginger?
Garlic ginger is a simple blend of fresh garlic and ginger, usually grated, crushed or chopped together. It is widely used in South and East Asian cooking as an aromatic base for curries, stir-fries, soups and marinades; cooks elsewhere often add it to sauces or dressings for a lively, savoury kick.
Its flavour is pungent and warming, with the sharpness of garlic and ginger’s gentle heat. Briefly fry a spoonful in oil before adding vegetables, meat or fish, or stir it into a dipping sauce. The blend is low in calories and brings aromatic plant compounds; a 15 g spoonful is an easy starting amount. Use less for a milder result, or round out the bite with lemon, yoghurt or a little oil.
