Comments: Ginger is naturally associated with Chinese cooking. The ginger plant is native to Asia and was one of the first oriental spices to travel the Silk Road to Europe. Its uses are many. Sauteed with garlic and scallions, it forms the basis for a host of dishes. Dried or candied, it is used in preserves and sweets that the Chinese enjoy as nibbles. In this recipe, sweet preserved ginger is used to add tang to fresh fruits.
