White Turmeric

I wasn’t forking sure what to do with White Turmeric so I looked to the internet for suggestions. I read that white turmeric is not the same as regular Turmeric and should used like a vegetable. Some people say they just eat it raw with a little lemon juice. So I forking tasted it raw. It sort of was crunchy and wet and very gingery. I thought maybe roasting the White Turmeric might be interesting so I did.

After I roasted the White Turmeric they changed a little and became a little potato like but wetter. They still tasted like ginger and I decided they were too strong to eat as is and I made a dipping sauce out of the white turmeric because for me the White Turmeric didn’t work out as a vegetable.

I rough chopped the white turmeric and added some white miso, mirin, rice vinegar, an elephant garlic clove, and a tiny bit of sesame oil.

It came out tasty as a light refreshing dip with the vegetables.

The White Turmeric is like the Elephant Garlic. The Turmeric wants to be ginger but isn’t and the Elephant Garlic wants to be garlic but isn’t.  Both the White Turmeric and the Elephant Garlic are easier to eat raw than Ginger and Garlic.
