Shave it on top of tofu and eat with tsuyu or soy sauce and some green onion :) Otherwise julienne and put on top of some tender boiled/braised beef. Or cook in sugar water with sweet potatoes and/or taro, or cook in sugar water with silken tofu. Better yet, you can make fabulous chicken pho broth with ginger, onion, and some chicken feet or chicken carcass!

I'm in love with young ginger! It's so floral and light and blushingly sweet. I infuse it for pot de creme and use the syrup from candying for lemonade... if you candied it and dried/sugared it it might make a gorgeous addition to shortbread... or add it to a quick batch of marmalade. Nice pairings might be rhubarb, quince, grapes, meyer lemons. you are so lucky to find it at a farmer's market!
Shave thin slices of the ginger and place them under the skin of chicken. Then season the chicken with salt, pepper and drizzle lightly with canola or olive oil. Roast the chicken. Serve with soy sauce and scallions.

While it doesn't specify young ginger, I made the following for the holidays and it was delicious: http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2011/12/diy-ginger-liqueur-make-your-own-canton.html
I've also been making a ton of pho recently and I love it with lots of ginger, or you could make a ginger syryp for drinks, ice cream, etc.
