Homemade Ginger Paste ~ How to Make Ginger Paste ~ Noreen's Kitchen Basics

- A few weeks ago I made an Asian pork tenderloin and used my homemade ginger paste in that recipe. An overwhelming number of you requested that I share how I make my homemade paste so today we are going to do that!
Homemade ginger paste is pretty simple, and I love that it is seriously only three ingredients. ginger, water and a bit of citric acid. That is it! I use this in my morning vinegar cocktail that I drink for my health and I also use ground turmeric as well. A wonderful way to get your body going every morning!
When selecting ginger, you want to get fists that look fresh and not shriveled, it should be heavy for it's size and it should spritz when your gently dig your fingernail into one end. You can purchase as much or as little as you like and make it in amounts you think you will use within a few months. I made what equaled two cups of ginger, half I used to make ginger turmeric paste, the rest will keep in my fridge for a significantly long time.
I got my ginger at the commissary but also love to get mine at the Asian market up the street from me. They always have amazing organic, super fresh ginger root that is super cheap. So if you have an Asian or an East Indian market near you, check there first because they go through it fast and it will always be at the peak of freshness.
I started out by peeling the ginger. I do this by using a spoon and scraping the skin off of the ginger. Then I cut the ginger up into julianne size strips. You don't have to be super precise when cutting up the ginger, just get it smaller.
I put the ginger in my mini chopper with a couple tablespoons of water and wazzed that up till it was a paste. I kept adding ginger till all my ginger was mixed into a paste. I also added more water with each addition to keep the viscosity up. Then I added some citric acid. You will want to add 1 teaspoon per cup of processed ginger to help keep the mixture from oxidizing and to keep it really fresh in your fridge.
I like to store my ginger in a mason jar with a tight fitting lid and preferably a new flat lid. This will ensure extra prolonged freshness. Just keep it in the fridge and pull it out and use it as you would prepared garlic for all your Asian dishes. Fresh ginger is also great added to your homemade pumpkin and apple pies. It will give it a really nice intense ginger flavor.
You can use the fresh ginger as I do in a vinegar cocktail or as a great and natural way to alleviate heartburn or stomach upset. You can use it to make ginger tea to help stave off nausea as well. Ginger is amazing and everyone should have it on hand. It is a natural medicine as well as an amazing flavorizer!
I hope that you give homemade ginger paste a try and I hope you love it!
Happy Eating!

Noreen, thank you for sharing this recipe. I will definitely be making my own from now on. I love coming to your channel because I always learn something new!! Thanks again!
Ginger is so good for you, which is why my taste buds don't like it. I'm blown away that people eat that much of the stuff. Kudos to all of you who do. I only like it in cookies and cake.
You can also get ginger in a capsule form so you can just take it like a supplement and you don't have to taste it.
Made some today in a blender with apple cider vinegar and a fresh lime. 😋
It's been a while, but how did it keep? I wanted to do the same.
Great idea! I bought a huge container of fresh ginger from costco so I be doing this. Thank you:)
Awesome!
Linda's Pantry
I used my Nutri Bullet and added lemon peel and lemon juice. I use this in my ginger tea.
how long will it keep?
Thanks Noreen - it's too late for this season but i shall be growing some next year to do this with. How long would this paste store on the shelf? It'll never last that long but it would be handy to know
How long does the preservation last
Thank you for this recipe!
Thank you for showing us how to make this paste, really helpful and very easy 😊
How long does it last in the refrigerator and the freezer after the asorbic acid?
Thank you very much for this recipe. I will be making it today. 🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing 🙏💞
This is great, I saw it the other day at a specialty store in a squeeze bottle. That seemed like a good idea, but was pricey.
This video was very timely and I will differently try it. Thanks Noreen .
Great
Why not!!!
How long does it last in the fridge and can you freeze it?
Can we use lemon instead of citric acid.
Cooking with Rekha no
Noreen's Kitchen... Thanks dear for a quick reply....
@@noreenskitchenchannel why
Sarah Mutonga because lemons are not consistent in their acid. Citric acid is. From a food safety perspective using thr citric acid is much safer.
Thanks for the video. I use a lot of ginger in my Indian cooking and in my chai tea. Where do you buy citric acid and is it safe?
Can this ginger paste be canned?
thank you for sharing the video. How long it will presrerve
Can you use fresh oranges with peel minus the seeds as citric acid
No Citric Acid is not derived from citrus fruit.
Nice video you did.
How long it will last without refrigeration?
Yum!👍
Nice and it looks yummy too! thank you Noreen =)
how long can this be kept?
HI, could 'fruit fresh' be substituted for the citric acid?
Great one,I'm doing the same
Thank you. Can we use lemon juice instead of citric acid to preserve. Is it preserved in the fridge?
No you need to use the citric acid. Ramon juice is not going to preserve this as well as the citric acid.
Wear do u buy citric acid?
I have found it in the cannning section of walmart
wow such a great idea. i end up throwing out ginger root because i dont use it quickly enough
You can peel and cut up the ginger before it goes off and put in small zip lock bag or plastic container and stick in the freezer!
The ginger paste you can put in an ice cube tray and place in freezer and use each cube at a time.
how long will this keep refrigerated approximately and thank you for sharing!
I covered that in the information box
I read the info section and was unable to find where it stated the length of time the ginger paste could be stored safely in the refrigerator.
Becky Skinner my apologies. I have never had it go bad. But for safety sake I would say you should only make what you will use within three months.
thank you very much!
Can use lemon juice instead of citric acid?
You could try. Cannot guarantee the outcome.
Hi. I followed ur recipe but the ginger is sour after adding the citric acid. Will this affect the taste in dishes? Thanks
Citric acid does add sourness. That is what makes sour gummy candies sour. It may be that you added too much. I do not find that it causes a sour taste in the food when I use it.
4:36
Is that salt
Citric acid
Could you can this ? Pressure can? Water bath? to have in a SHTF situation?
No, you cannot can this. There is no safety tested recipe for canning this. Additionally, heating the ginger to that high of a temperature will be killing the magic contained in the ginger. The ginger is a healing root. Consuming it for your health is why I do this. Not just for flavoring dishes. I drink this ginger daily mixed with turmeric paste. Heating this will kill all of that benefit. You should not can this. You won't probably find a safety tested recipe for it anyway. You should not can things without a safety tested recipe.
thank you for the info :)
Nooren , for the utmost health tip, grate a little bit of garlic into your ginger and turneric drink. Many Indian ( East Indian) people do this .
whats the other alternative if i dont have a food processor
There really isn't one. This needs to be processed using a processor.
Hello I would like to try the recipe but I can't find citric acid in powder in my country, can I substitute it?
A crushed vitamin C tablet will do the same.
Thank you I will use one then, I'm guessing I can use this with any type of Asian style dish along with the meat, chicken etc. Thank you for answering.
Can I use a blender
It wont work as well because the ginger is very fibrous and my burn out your blender motor
I make that in my home but it’s so spicy so just throw it
I dont like the idea of citric acid being used, as it's not very good for you. What can I use instesd ? Salt? Does the jar have to be sterilised?
Citric acid is not good for you? It's vitamin C for heaven's sake. The citric acid I use is GMO free and organic. How can that be bad for you? Salt is not a substitute for citric acid. You should wash the jar, but you don't need to sterilize it. You will need to keep this in the refrigerator.
You can use apple cider vinegar
If citric acid not available then
Crush a vitamin c tablet and mix it in
How long do you keep it stored?
As I have mention a few times in this comment section, I recommend that you only make what you will use within a three month period of time.
Thank you
Ginger
I love u
Can i make tea with this
Тoo much talk 🙄🙄👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
I always do like this for years but never use citric acid. What I do, after making paste, just place them in ice cube, freeze these & use ziplock for frozen ginger paste cubes…
However, I am interested knowing the name of your food processor. Sounds like it is very powerful one!
Thanks for posting this comment. I was wondering if the citric acid was necessary if I planned to freeze it (cuz I don’t have citric acid). Good to know I won’t need it. Thanks again!
How many days we can keep it (expiry dste)???
Lasts up to one month
Hello ~ granted ginger? Was that ginger power ? 👋
Like the straight forward raw instructions for the paste. Great question with the gentleman. Answer helped so much. Thanks.
Tried to sign up for your newsletter but it says is no longer there
I make this with my husbands Ninja and freeze in a plastic bag. Break off what I need to cook.
This is a fantastic idea. I'm going to freeze it in mini ice cube trays.
Can't wait to see your morning vinegar drink.
Thank you so much👌🩷🩷🩷🙂
Thank you. Simple effective way to preserve ginger 😊
Great channel Noreen. I found this place googling for mixing ginger with tonic water so that I don’t get left out of tavern visits with uh my friends. I don’t want to look like a sissy. I think this will be the sweet spot.
I am making too. Ginger is good for easy digestion and bloated tummy gas problems too. Thank you.
sigh..of course I see this AFTER I buy the stinking TUBE!!! lol...oh well, at least its the only time I will buy one...thanks for the vid...and why didn't I think to find out how to do it before! would love to see your "cocktail" mixture...sounds good.
This is perfect i have a recipe for dinner tonight that calls for ginger paste and I don't have any but I have ginger root so this is great to use for tonight thank you!
Can you still see the fibres? Or is it fully puree?
Hi, how much water do we have to add??
Thanks, very helpful
Quick question. If I plan on freezing it in an ice cube tray, do I still need to put citric acid in it?
Hi Noreen , i know this video is a few years old but thanks for sharing , id like to ask , Can this be water bathed or pressure canned to make shelf stable ? many thanks from Australia ;)
No this cannot be canned.
@@noreenskitchenchannel Oh bummer ! we have so much growing its wonderful , i might just be giving an awful lot away ,,,,,, Thankyou so very much for your fast reply xo
What would you use Ginger Paste for ? We use fresh Ginger for Asian dishes mostly. Also in hot tea for winter time colds.
You can use it for Indian dishes. Ginger and garlic paste is always used in many Indian cooking.
how do I ask a question? couldn't find a chicken noodle soup by you. & wondered if I can freeze extra chicken noodle soup ?
Yes, you can freeze chicken soup, however I don't recommend freezing it with the noodles in it. I always make and serve my noodles separately because then when you have leftovers you can just freeze the soup in an airtight container. I like 2 quart ziplock containers. They are rectangular, deep and stack nicely. When I want to have soup for dinner I just take it out of the freezer, run hot water over it, pop it out into a pot and add a little hot water to the bottom then simmer till ready. While that is cooking I can make the pasta of my choice. I just did that the other night in fact, with my Italian chicken soup. I make great batches of it in my pressure cooker and have enough for five meals. I made it with macaroni and added the dry mac right to the simmering soup. Delicious.
Looks god. How long would that stay fresh in the fridge?
I recommend that you only make what you will use within a three month period of time.
Can u use creme of tarter as a sub?
No cream of tartar is not an appropriate substitute for citric acid.
This looks awesome ! But could I use my coffee grinder ? I don't have a food processor.
No, that won't work and You will most likely ruin your coffee grinder. That was not designed for wet applications.
Noreen's Kitchen oh well, mabye my emulsion blender will do the job...
Thanks so much Noreen, I really appreciate it. Thanks again and have a great day!!!!
Is it ok to eat raw in a smoothie, or should it be cooked?
It's always good when you eat it in it's most raw state but expect a very strong soury bittery taste.
Oh Thank you for this video. If I can't find citric acid, could I use lemon or lime juice instead?
Abi no. You should use a crushed vitamin C tablet otherwise known as Ascorbic acid
Thank you for replying. I found citric acid but when I put it in as you showed me the ground ginger turned orange. Do you know why? I got the citric acid from a health food store. Is the ginger safe to use?
Abi is it okay to use the orange vitamin C pill in the mix ?
Hi Noreen, I have a question. Can I use lemon juice instead of the citric acid?
Unfortunatley no. Lemon juice and citric acid are two very different things and the lemon juice does not have the staying power of the citric acid. You can also use a crushed vitamin C cap or a spoonful of ascorbic acid. All three are readily available in a drug store or big box store.

Thank you for the rapid response😃 I want to do this, so I will be looking for the citric acid at our Sam's Club. Thanks again.
Nancy Rosas b
This is wonderful, and the smell is great. Thank you
thank your the best for doing this for us
Thanks it's so easy I can't believe I'm going to be able to do it. I'm going to have to go buy citric acid, I don't even know where in the store to look for it but I will find it. And / somebody else's suggestion I'm going to freeze it in Tiny ice cube trays so I will always have it when I need it.
