Luya - Ginger

Luya

Used in a lot of vegetable and meat dishes. I use it a lot in my version of chicken stew: ginger, chicken, spinach boiled together (salt or patis and pepper to taste of course). I also love salabat (ginger tea)! It's very easy to do. Just boil ginger slices with sugar to taste. Use brown sugar so the tea will have some coloration. That's it.
