. Can I use dried ginger instead of fresh ginger?

While fresh ginger provides the best flavor, you can use dried ginger in a pinch. Just remember to use half the amount called for in the recipe, as dried ginger is more potent.

Yes, you can substitute lemon juice for lime juice if you prefer. The flavor will be slightly different, but still delicious.
