Ingredients
- ½ cup rice vinegar seasoned or unseasoned
- ½ cup water
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar - use more if you like it sweeter
- 1 teaspoon Morton kosher salt
- 1 cup peeled very thinly sliced, and packed, fresh ginger (preferably young ginger)
Instructions
- Add the rice vinegar, water, granulated sugar, and salt to a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook until the sugar and salt have dissolved, whisking rapidly.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the ginger. Ensure that all the ginger slices are evenly coated in brine.
- Allow to cool to room temperature and then transfer the ginger and pickling liquid to an airtight container. I like to use a glass jar.
- Store in the fridge until ready to use. The ginger will still have a strong bite immediately after pickling, so I recommend letting it sit in the fridge to pickle for at least 48 hours before enjoying. Pickled ginger will keep well in the fridge for up to two months.
