Ginger, also known as ginger root, is a popular spice used in traditional Chinese cooking. It can be found in soups, stews, marinades, and stir-fried dishes. If you want to experience the full, bold flavor of ginger, mince or grate it. For a lighter flavor, cut the ginger into long slivers.

                                          • Add about 1–2 inches of water to a small stockpot with a steamer basket or a double boiler. Bring water to a rolling boil.
                                          • Add carrots to the steamer basket or double boiler and steam until carrots are tender, but not mushy, about 9–10 minutes.
                                            Critical Control Point: Heat to 140 °F or higher for at least 15 seconds.
                                          • Prepare ginger glaze while carrots are cooking by combining the remaining ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Pour hot steamed carrots into the ginger glaze and stir until honey and margarine melt.
                                          • Serve immediately. Serve ¹⁄4 cup (2 oz spoodle).
                                            Critical Control Point: Hold at 140 °F or higher.
