I use prepared fresh grated ginger - I find it in the refrigerated produce section, hear the fresh herbs, in a tube. It saves me the time and frustration of peeling and mincing ginger root.

We usually have this with a noodle side dish because the kiddos don't care for mashed potatoes, but mashed potatoes are better! Great with a salad or green vegetable. This is one of the few proteins all the kids willingly eat every time!!!
