I couldn?t get pics of myself doing this, but the best way to peel this stuff is to hold it in the palm of your hand and scrape over it with a spoon, concave face towards you. If you do it correctly, the spoon will scrape off the skin and leave the flesh of the ginger root clean and unharmed. Make sure you smell the ginger. GOOD ginger will smell fresh and clean. It sounds corny, but it smells kind of like springtime.

You will need 1.5 Tbsp. of this, fully minced. Put it in the bowl with the green onions.
 
 Step 4:

Combine the ginger with the minced scallion (green onion) in bowl #2.
