Notes
- If you find young ginger with pink tips, after a few hours, the ginger will turn slightly pink. The following day it will be even pinker. Often commercially produced pickled ginger is artificially dyed pink. The pickled ginger can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 year.
