Ingredients:
3-4 Ginger roots, young or regular
2 1/2 teaspoons Salt, divided
1 cup (240ml) Rice vinegar
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons (125g) Sugar
Directions:
1. Using the back of a spoon or a peeler, peel the ginger.
2. Then, using a sharp knife or a mandolin, cut the ginger as thinly as possible.
3. Place sliced ginger in a bowl, sprinkle 2 teaspoons of salt, mix well and set aside for 15-20 minutes. That helps remove moisture.
4. Meanwhile bring pot of water to a boil, when boiling, add the ginger and blanch for 2-3 minutes.
5. Drain the ginger and allow to cool, then, squeeze the water as much as possible out from the ginger. Put the ginger in a sterilized airtight jar.
6. Make the vinegar mixture: in a small saucepan combine rice vinegar, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, cook for a few minutes, until the sugar has dissolves.
7. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Then, pour vinegar mixture over the ginger. Allow the mixture to cool, then put the lid on.
8. Refrigerate for at least one day before consuming.

Hello Would love to ask can you use white vinegar instead of rice vinegar if you don’t have rice vinegar. Is white vinegar bad for the recipe and is there a big difference in the 2 vinegars. Curious because I have white vinegar.

[@m.fire0898]

I was curious too about that. I also would like to know 😊​@@user-yd8xt5tz6c

[@rjhong93]

Don't throw out that water. You can use it as a base for ramen, any soup or as a sauce just needs to thicken.

[@user-mt1rx3sd7n]

Excellant

WONDERS for my gastrointestinal issues!!! ❤❤❤

Thanks for the recipe, my husband lately loves to eat any food with gari. During pandemic time we were using it as natural remedy.

[@The07Maciek]

Dziękuję! Ja stosuję podobny przepis ale cukier zastępuję miodem. Trwałość po umieszczeniu w lodówce - najstarszy słoik który właśnie kończę wykonałem 5 lat temu - wyjątkowo dobry efekt w czasie. Polecam i pozdrawiam

[@laishanannalam585]

You can use the blanching water to make lemon honey tea.

[@TheCookingFoodie]

Good idea 💡 👍

[@LonjeMarie7]

Thank you very much for the tea suggestion. My niece has got me into the medicinal benefits of ginger. I am definitely going to use the water and not throw it away and waste it. I appreciate you I have never seen this using the blanching water in anyone else’s video thank you very very much.

[@elainelindsey1306]

I just bought a gingger for tea, guess I have to change my plan for pickled gingger. Thankyou.

[@TheCookingFoodie]

😂😍

[@yoitsoasis]

Hello. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I have a question, after putting salt and leave the ginger 15-20 mins process, you remove moisture correct? I'm a little confused as to why do you need to boil the ginger in the water after? Doesn't that defeat the purpose to ensure it's dried in the first place before putting it in the jar?

[@197tyrone]

The water from cooking the ginger will be a very good tea.

[@jungnamlee4901]

But ginger is salted in the boiling water and watch out that drinking salted water is not good for your health. Though ginger is very good for you!!

[@Quickbitesllc]

Where can I purchase the mandolin?

[@sipinkar]

can you use maple syrup instead of sugar?

[@boa1793]

Oh, how I wish I could find young ginger. I live in northern Wisconsin. It’s so far away from good fresh vegetables. It’s sad. One of the few things I miss since moving up here.

[@Lagi42800]

You can grow your own, it's a whole nother level of taste ... It's quite easy to grow it even grows in germany :) Hope I could help

[@serenity9984]

Does it matter what kind of sugar we use? Can I use coconut sugar?

[@HealthyDisrespectforAuthority]

Looks good but I have questions. Why isn't it pink? How important is it that real sugar is used as opposed to a keto friendly alternative sweetener? What kind of salt? iodized, kosher, sea salt?

[@Lagi42800]

It doesn't always have to be pink. It's only just slightly pink if you use like super-fresh ginger ( new sprouts basically ). Furthermore on the sugar-question, so basically keto-sugar as it's commonly called is Fructose, meaning it can be used to sweeten your food but in this case it's used for preservation. Meaning if you intend on using keto-sugar then expect the product to spoil earlier. Furthermore if you're scared for your calories, I can assure you that the flavour doesn't really come from the sugar, it is coming from the fact that that water is drained from the ginger thus condensing its flavour. Oh and on the salt-question, it shouldn't really matter, but my advice, try to avoid sea-salt, because of enviromental-pollution literally every package of sea-salt contains micro-plastic, which, yeah, isn't quite that healthy ... Hope I could help, Greetings from Germany :)

[@The-Secret-Dragon]

super young fresh ginger, and parilla leaves, are what give pink ginger its colour

[@jungnamlee4901]

I agree with using regular sugar & salt. Fructose is bad for you. Thanks for making a simple & nice recipe for ginger lovers !!

[@tscherl]

you can drink the blanching water as tea

[@boa1793]

Yes, I kind of screamed when they tossed that out.

[@sarajamal2408]

Try baby ginger will taste even better

[@elinebester5893]

Thanks for the recipe, but what can I substitute rice vinegar with

[@saucylambchop1045]

You can substitute it with regular vinegar or even apple cider vinegar ^^

[@sinuzb3115]

Does it still taste like ginger

[@siranoushmalkhasian3356]

👍💐👍💐👍💐

[@situationroom3090]

How long do you let it ferment?? Thank you

[@RoseMarlyn_6080]

The video said 6 months???

[@tyiaty7544]

Is ot possible to use regular vinegar as substitute to rice vinegar

[@TheCookingFoodie]

Yes

[@gefloigle]

Can honey be substituted for the sugar?

[@LonjeMarie7]

I’m sure you could use it. I would just experiment honey actually sounds like a good idea because it will give it a distinctive flavor. I am going to use honey and a sugar blend. Thank you for the suggestion. or I’m going to use honey alone I love the flavor ,without the sugar.

[@edavis4360]

Do you have to use rice vinegar? Can use regular vinegar?

[@saucylambchop1045]

Yes! Altho it isn't traditional you can use regular vinegar too

[@hawkeye5129]

Does rice vinegar necessary or we can use just regular vinegar ???

[@victoriousastrologytarot]

Regular vinegar is too strong.

[@farzananishad9432]

Hi...is adding sugar a necessity

[@TheCookingFoodie]

Yes

[@lindadepascale8290]

What gives the commercial pickled ginger its pink color?

[@krisvalderrama9043]

i think it's the result of the longer pickling process (or maybe artificial coloring). if the ginger used is young, i think it would turn pink in just a short time (at least that's what i read)

[@johnnymcknifehands1377]

From what I know the ginger can turn a little pink from the pickling process if it is younger (younger ginger is apparently better) and some companies add beet juice to give it the pink color and hide if it isn't younger ginger

[@LuckyDamePreparedness]

Red dye. If you read the ingredients it will be listed toward the end usually.

[@loism1965]

It's part of the pickling process...very young ginger will develop a slight pink hue color.

[@joaoalbertodosanjosgomes1536]

[@gettem6341]

you really need the blanching step?

[@cesaroliveira9867]

🐶

[@hicoteo]

I want to make sugar free. 😥

[@RoseMarlyn_6080]

No sugar???the taste not really good only source's

[@Pfsif]

Wait, it's not pink?

[@gambasfritasconcorbata5936]

Sometimes they make pickled ginger with new roots, which are pink

[@irinasasna2027]

Fără oțet?

[@karthickshivabala6650]

Am I the only one who feels it looks like potato slices rather than ginger slices?

[@svetlanakotenko-forte2435]

Certainly it’s not a potato slice, those wouldn’t be so flexible.

[@rjhong93]

Well ginger grows funky so it looks like it but not.

[@aiveeaudine6784]

i love that ginger pickled. i have it at home.

[@danathomas7870]

It’s just older ginger root. That’s why it’s not pink. But it’s the same just a bit more stringy.

[@ChrisSmith-hk5iy]

yes you are the only one❤

[@German_Mosolov]

2-3 minutes is not enougth. Dont lie. 20+ minimum.

[@KarenmaePaterno-zu5qt]

some show their recipes here in You tube there are not telling the truth

[@tizzm949]

Making this because the ginger I had said cancer warning on it and it could expose you to lead

[@Kerys23a]

America cup is not a measurement.

[@Green-Clean-Energy]

Very bad recipe- ginger lost all its nutrients first with salt then in boiled water then with squeezing. All you got is plain rubber ✏️
