Powdered dry ginger root (ground ginger) is sometimes used as a substitute. Ground and fresh ginger taste quite different and ground ginger is a particularly poor substitute for fresh ginger. Fresh ginger can be successfully substituted for ground ginger and should be done at a ratio of 6 parts fresh for 1 part ground. You generally achieve better results by substituting only half the ground ginger for fresh ginger.
Add some fresh lemon juice too: 1 ½ teaspoon ground ginger + 1 teaspoon lemon juice.

Ginger paste in a tube
dried ginger (spice aisle)
But get you a knot of fresh ginger; what you dont' use, throw in the freezer until next time. Then peel and grate while frozen, toss back inteh freezer. The taste is SO worth it!

Ground ginger or maybe a little cinnamon, clove, or nutmeg. "Little"
