Does anyone know where i can find this certain ginger?

Question

I have had ginger from China town in LA before that was prepared in a special way. Unfortunately the place that sold it no longer exists but i still want the ginger. The ginger was pretty spicy, looked almost black, was cut into thin peices and it was covered in this deep redish- orange powder that was sweet and salty. Also when you would eat it it would stain your fingers. Does anyone know where i can find ginger like this? I live in San Diego, CA.

Answer 1

Try your local China town in San Diego, authentic Chinese wholesalers, renowned Chinese chefs in your area.

Failing all that, look in Wikipedia, it may give you the correct name and make your search easier.

Good luck.
