As this is the season for fresh ginger, I made this to stay warm.

When drying, please dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, or dry with an electric fan.
The sugar will become very sticky, so for cleaning your pot, boil some water while using a spatula to scrap it away. That's easiest. Recipe by Sorara82

Steps

1

Wash the ginger well and remove the outer skin. Cut into 2 - 3 mm thick pieces and soak in plenty of water for 30 minutes.
2

Boil water in a pan, add the ginger, then drain. Do this 3 times. Add the drained ginger to a pot, top with the sugar, and heat.
3

Bring to a boil on medium heat at first, then reduce to low heat and boil, being careful not to burn (moisture will come out naturally, so don't mix it).
4

Once the ginger turns translucent brown, mix slowly until the sugar crystallizes.
5

Once the sugar has roughly crystallized, quickly move to a cookie sheet to cool (be careful as the sugar will be sticky).
6

Before it completely cools, spread out the ginger so that its not overlapping and allow to dry (if you like a sweet taste, top with granulated sugar).
7

Once they're completely dried, place in a storage container and store in the refrigerator.
