◉ Preparation of ginseng roots cooking 
STEP 1
The first step of preparing a ginseng root is to thoroughly remove dirt from its skin. Immerse the ginseng root in a bowl of water for about 10 minutes. Solid dirt on the ginseng root will soften and yield to light scrubbing.
STEP 2
Scrub off the remaining dirt with a toothbrush under running water.
STEP 3
Trim off the root's minor forks. Referred to as "fine ginseng", these minor forks usually have a more bitter taste than other parts of the root. The minor trimmed forks can be immersed in water for a prolonged period of time to drain out bitter elements. Afterwards, they can be prepared as seasoned potherbs or used as an additive when preparing tea.    
STEP 4
Trim off the crown. Crowns are trimmed off for most dishes, but they can be retained when preparing dishes like honey-preserved ginseng, in which the original shape is treasured.
STEP 5
Aside from some recipes where a whole ginseng root is used, most recipes use ginseng roots sliced in cross sections. For skewered roasting, the roots are sliced thinly lengthwise.    
STEP 6
For salads, rolls or skewer baking, ginseng roots are also sliced thinly lengthwise.
STEP 7
For preparation of western style sauces or jams, ginseng roots are minced. The roots are sliced thinly lengthwise first and the bundle of slices is then chopped crosswise.
