Ingredients
  • 4 oz fresh ginger root
  • 2-3 tsp. salt
  • 4 oz rice vinegar
  • 3 tbsp. water
  • 1 tbsp. sugar
  • a little pickled plum juice (authentic) or
  • a little red food coloring (optional)

Directions
  1. Wash the ginger roots thoroughly, peeling away any discolored skin. Sprinkle lightly with salt, put in a bowl or jar, cover and set aside for 1-2 days.
  2. Drain the ginger and put it in a clean glass or ceramic bowl or jar. Combine the vinegar, water and sugar (and food coloring if required) in a small saucepan, bring to the boil and pour over the ginger. Cover the bowl or jar and set aside for at least 7 days.
  3. To serve, cut paper thin slices of ginger along the grain and serve on little individual plates.
  4. Sweet pickled ginger will keep for several months in the refrigerator.

Great recipe - I know people who are allergic to red food coloring (which is in the stuff you can buy) so it's nice to be able to make it without


This is different. I have never had this or sushi. I have to try and will let you know how it turned out.


Thank you!
