      Cover the ginger with boiling water.  Let stand for

   in a large, impeccably clean glass jar or plastic
   container.
      Combine the remaining ingredients in a non-aluminum

   meat, fish, or poultry.  It can be minced or julienned
   for use in many different dishes and cold sauces.  The
   juice can be used in hot and cold sauces, springroll
   dips and salad dressings.
