Slice and Chop Ginger

After peeling the ginger, we first slice it as fine as we can easily and then chop it with our cleaver. You want the pieces quite small for use in any Chinese dish. Our cleaver came from China. The cleaver should have a curved blade so you can roll the cleaver over the ginger to chop it into small pieces.
