Add ginger to fried greens I braise at the end (8)

I believe the answer is:

energise

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'add ginger' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'fried greens i braise at the end' is the wordplay.
'fried' is an anagram indicator.
'at the end' indicates one should take the final letters.
The last letter of 'braise' is 'e'.
'greens'+'i'='greensi'
'greensi' anagrammed gives 'energis'.
'energis'+'e'='ENERGISE'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for energise that I've seen before include "Stimulate activity" , "To banish inertia" , "Activate" , "give vigour" , "Give vitality to" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
