You can't OD on ginger. It's an amazing spice that has all kinds of wonderful curative powers. It balances all three doshas and brings great vitality and good digestion. Both ginger and turmeric should go in all subjis. Ginger is satvic. I love ginger.

is it mentioned somewhere that ginger is a satvic eatable...? if yes plz tell me the source
The spices commonly used in sattvic cooking are turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, coriander, fennel (saunf) and cardamom.
In this case I have to trust the first two. Perhaps someone else can nail down the third.
