Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams fresh ginger
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
Peel the fresh ginger using a spoon or a vegetable peeler to remove the skin, then slice it as thinly as possible using a mandoline or a sharp knife.
Place the sliced ginger in a heatproof bowl and pour boiling water over it. Let it sit for 2 minutes, then drain the ginger through a fine mesh sieve. Set the sliced ginger aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the white vinegar, granulated sugar, water, and kosher salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved, about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pickling liquid cool for 2-3 minutes.
Place the blanched ginger slices into a clean, sterilized jar. Pour the warm pickling liquid over the ginger, ensuring all slices are fully submerged.
Allow the jar to cool to room temperature, then seal it with a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. For best flavor, let the ginger pickle for 24 hours.
Store the pickled ginger in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks and enjoy as a flavorful condiment or snack!
