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
Cooking Instructions
- 1
For spring ginger, rinse off the dirt without peeling the skin. Peel off the skin if using regular ginger.
- 2
Julienne the ginger. First, finely slice along the grain, then julienne.
- 3
Put the ginger in a frying pan. Don't turn on the heat yet. Sprinkle in the salt.
- 4
Heat over medium until the ginger starts to dry, stirring with a wooden spatula to prevent burning.
- 5
This is about the right length of time.
- 6
Next, pour in the plum vinegar. Pour in enough to immerse the ginger.
- 7
Turn off the heat, and transfer to a jar while still hot. Once it cools, store in the refrigerator.
- 8
Here, I made it with regular ginger. You can eat it from the following day.

Homemade Pickled Ginger Homemade Pickled Ginger
Since it's the season for fresh ginger, so I made a small jar of pickled ginger this year.You can also use store-bought plum vinegar. If you make your own umeboshi, you can also use the leftover plum vinegar to make shibazuke (Kyoto-style pickles). Since fresh ginger often has dirt on the joints connecting the roots, be sure to carefully wash them. Recipe by Suika cookpad.japan -

Spring Ginger Pickled in Sweet Vinegar (Gari/Sushi Ginger) Spring Ginger Pickled in Sweet Vinegar (Gari/Sushi Ginger)
I have been making "gari" sushi ginger since I saw a recipe in a book I borrowed from the library some time ago. After making it many times, I've added my own tricks to make improve the results, to create my own gari recipe.The points that I think are important are:● Bring the sweet vinegar sauce to a boil to take the edge of the sharpness of the vinegar● Boil the ginger to eliminate the slightly grassy flavor it has (If you just boil it for 2-3 minutes, it'll retain the crispy texture).● Use good quality vinegar.This gari recipe is quite sweet. Adjust the amount of sugar to taste. Recipe by Raby cookpad.japan -

Just Mix and Wait - Easy Pickled Daikon Radish Just Mix and Wait - Easy Pickled Daikon Radish
This is the daikon radish that my mother-in-law made for the New Year's feat. It's so good that whenever I made it, it gets eaten right up!The recipe that my mother-in-law taught is 2 kg daikon, 100 ml vinegar, 80 g salt, 2 tablespoons sake, and 300 to 400 g sugar.I adjusted it to an easy-to-consume amount using 1/2 a daikon.At first, I wondered if it was right to cover the daikon in sugar and salt. The water from the daikon will be drawn out, so use a container that will give the daikon some room.If you reuse the vinegar, it will be too thin, so I recommend draining half of the water. I recommend using it as marinade, and adding in half of the amount of ingredients for a second pickling. Recipe by Popotankobu cookpad.japan -
