How to Make Red Pickled Ginger

I love red pickled ginger, but I worry about the food coloring and additives in the store-bought type. It's also a shame to toss out the plum vinegar from making umeboshi. Simplifying the salting and drying process, I was able to produce a delicious red pickled ginger.

There's nothing much to it. All of the amounts are approximate.
Just a light sprinkle of salt and enough plum vinegar to cover the ginger.
As a rule of thumb, the amount of salt should be 4% the amount of ginger, so you can approximate with the proportion of 100 g ginger to 4 g salt. Recipe by Nanako

Ingredients

  1. 1as much (to taste) Spring ginger (or regular ginger)
  2. 1 dashSalt
  3. 1Plum vinegar

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    For spring ginger, rinse off the dirt without peeling the skin. Peel off the skin if using regular ginger.

  2. 2

    Julienne the ginger. First, finely slice along the grain, then julienne.

  3. 3

    Put the ginger in a frying pan. Don't turn on the heat yet. Sprinkle in the salt.

  4. 4

    Heat over medium until the ginger starts to dry, stirring with a wooden spatula to prevent burning.

  5. 5

    This is about the right length of time.

  6. 6

    Next, pour in the plum vinegar. Pour in enough to immerse the ginger.

  7. 7

    Turn off the heat, and transfer to a jar while still hot. Once it cools, store in the refrigerator.

  8. 8

    Here, I made it with regular ginger. You can eat it from the following day.
