How to Make China Moon Pickled Ginger
- Bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
- Place 1 cup thinly sliced fresh ginger in a heat-safe bowl and pour the boiling water over it. Let stand for 2 minutes.
- Drain the ginger in a fine-mesh colander and rinse with cold water.
- Pack the ginger tightly into a clean 1-quart glass jar or food-safe plastic container.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup white vinegar, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1/4 cup water.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved.
- Carefully pour the hot pickling liquid over the ginger in the jar, ensuring the ginger is fully submerged.
- Let the jar cool completely to room temperature.
- Cover the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before using. The flavor will improve with time, up to several weeks.
- Enjoy your homemade China Moon Pickled Ginger! Use it to add a zesty kick to grilled meats, fish, poultry, sauces, marinades, spring rolls, and salad dressings. The pickling liquid is also delicious in hot and cold sauces, dips, and salad dressings.
