Garlic/ginger paste in chiang mai?

[cnxvegan]

Hey all, i have been looking for this... typically i am too lazy, or busy to prepare garlic/ginger for cooking and i have been looking for pre-minced garlic and ginger, i thought it would be alot more common, but i havent been able to find it at tops or rimping

 

anyone know where i can get some? or maybe if they are located in a weird aisle at tops/rimping

 

i have got some from an indian shop in small foil packets, but it's not very cheap

 

thanks

  You can usually find good-sized jars of "Mother's" brand ginger/garlic paste in the small Indian foods section near the checkout counters at the front of the Makro store on Hang Dong Rd. Mind you, this is in paste form, and not "pre-minced". You mentioned both, so I'm not sure which you're looking for.

       I don't recall the exact price, but I'd guess it's somewhere in the neighborhood of 120 baht? Maybe 300-500 grams?

I find loads of prepared fresh ginger in the wet markets, including Kad Muang.  Usually small slivers 1 inch long, often in 10 baht bags or 20 kilo sacks.

make your own , keep it in a jar covered with sunflower oil , it will last a year or more.

You will have a peanut butter jar full for only 40 baht

 

Good luck.
