cattitude nor I was up for cooking tonight, so we sent for Chinese food, specifically "Empire ginger chicken." This is something we get fairly often: chunks of chicken and green beans, in a brown sauce with threads of fresh ginger.
Tonight, it had slices of ginger instead of threads.
Slices of pickled ginger, the sort usually served next to sushi.
It wasn't bad, but cooked pickled ginger is less intense than fresh ginger cooked the same way, and not as tasty (in my and Cattitude's opinions, at least). I'm guessing that this was an emergency save after they ran out of fresh ginger for some reason. I hope that's it, and not that they've changed their recipe for some odd reason. I expect we'll find out, and now we've had a new preparation, if not an actual new food.
