Home made pickled young ginger

Found a lot of ginger left in the fridge, decide to pickle them before they start to rot.Asked around old aunties in the market and this is roughly what they advise to do.

Used whatever is left.....

Sliced them up finely...

Sprinkled some salt, about 2 - 3 teaspoons..

Soak about 5 minutes or so.....

Meanwhile add sugar to vinegar and boil to dissolve the sugar,,,









Cool the boiled mixture.

Meanwhile wash the salt away after 5 minutes....

Drain the ginger and squeeze them dry...

Lastly add boiled water over the rinsed ginger....

Make sure all the ginger is bathed in hot water...

Again, squeeze the ginger dry....



To the rinsed and dried ginger, add the sugary vinegar...



Now the ginger is ready, but not yet. Need to wait 2-3 days before eating.

Keep the ginger in the fridge to soak in the syrup for 2-3 days,

Enjoy eating the ginger with your Japanese food or Chinese food....
