Homemade Pickled Ginger Recipe

Ingredients

• Young Ginger 400 g (Preferably with pick tips)
• Rice Vinegar 200 cc + 2tbsp (Separated)
• Sugar 50 g
• Salt 1 tsp

Method

1. Mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt together in a saucepan and turn on the heat.
2. Once all the ingredients have melted, remove from heat immediately and let it cool.
3. Use a spoon to scrape off the skin from the young gingers and slice the ginger thinly (around 1.5mm).
4. Sprinkle the ginger with 1tsp of salt and leave it for 5 minutes.
5. Wash the ginger with water.
6. Boil the ginger with water in a saucepan for about 2 minutes. If you like it spicy, lessen the boiling time.
7. Drain the ginger in the coriander and let it cool.
8. Once it has cooled, squeeze all the extra liquid out.
9. Add 2tbsp of rice vinegar to the ginger and squeeze again. (This will help keep the taste)
10. Add the ginger and the sweet vinegar mix into a boiled and sterilized jar.
11. Make sure no air can pass through for better results.
12. The pickled ginger can be enjoyed after 2-3 hours but for the best taste, it is recommended to wait a few days.
13. The pickled ginger can be kept in the fridge for up to a year.
