what is a cube of ginger?

I agree with quaniq, just slice off apx an inch of the root. Personally I rarely measure anything precisely, I just sort of eyeball it.

It is just ginger root which is sliced and shaped into like a cube, but not necessarily or exactly a cube. Ginger is commonly used in cooking. The amount to be used depends on the amount of meat that you will cook or depending on your taste for the ginger. Hope this helps.

That is the size for your ginger. It is normal in my country peoples use the inch as the measurement for ginger, centimeter is to small for a cube size. 1 inch of ginger is a normal size for any dish if you ask me, it just depend on how much you gonna cook. 1 inch is for the length of the ginger root, there is no need for you to measure the actual width to make it a cube.

It's good to know that you love to cook, as it's also flattering that you'd consider one of our meals in your recipe. I also love to cook, but I only get to use ginger on chicken and fish dishes. I know there are some pork or beef recipes that require ginger in it, but I seldom use them. I believe that a cube of ginger is just one that is to readied or prepared, so you can easily chop them and turn them into strips. You see, there are different sizes of ginger. Assuming that you have a huge one, you peel it and then cut them according to what the procedure tells you so..

it means the size of cube . however it does not stated the proper measurement of the cube, i think one centimeter cube will be enough. it's always referring to ginger root with almost the size of a cube but it is not necessary to be exactly a cube... but before we put it in a stew we normally press the ginger so that the flavor of the ginger will come out... i am a good cook also here in the Philippines

that question got me totally stumped as well! i think it means that the size of ginger to add is about a small cube. and i agree with the rest that you should basically slice that small nodule of ginger up. otherwise the flavour will be stuck inside and there is no point then to adding the ginger. i love ginger! especially sliced thinly in dishes with fresh fish.

Well the sugared ginger that I buy is in a cube shape so maybe in some places you can buy cubes of ginger like you used to be able to buy cubed sugar, I can't say I have seen either but maybe in some countries you can, or maybe it means just cut a cube of ginger to your liking, interesting I have never seen this in recipes....

I'M ITAòIAN....I LOVE EAT GOOD...BUT SORRY I DONT KNOE THAT........ BYE MYRYAM

i'm filipino and a good cook too ;) but we don't have cubes of ginger or is it ginger cube? we simply use ginger roots and slice them (or cube them like you did) or press them. what's the name of the recipe, i'd be happy to help you.
