How to Make Quick Pickled Ginger
- Peel 100g fresh ginger using a spoon or vegetable peeler. Slice it thinly using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife (approximately 1mm thick).
- Place the sliced ginger in a bowl and sprinkle generously with 1 tablespoon of salt. Gently toss to coat. Let it sit for 30 minutes to draw out moisture.
- Rinse the ginger thoroughly under cold water and gently pat dry with paper towels.
- In a bowl, whisk together ½ cup rice vinegar, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons of water. Add the ginger and toss to coat evenly.
- Let the ginger sit in the pickling liquid for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes for a stronger flavor. Taste and adjust the sweetness or acidity by adding more sugar or vinegar, as needed.
- Serve immediately with your favorite sushi creations! Store leftover pickled ginger in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
