Ginger Pickled Garlic Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the ginger into chunks and place them into a bowl. Sprinkle with sea salt, stir to coat and let stand for about 30 minutes. Transfer the ginger to a clean jar.
• In a saucepan, stir together the rice vinegar and sugar until sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil, then pour the boiling liquid over the ginger root pieces in the jar.
• Allow the mixture to cool, then put the lid on the jar and store in the refrigerator for at least one week. You will see that the liquid will change to slightly pinkish in few minutes. Don't be alarmed because it's the reaction of rice vinegar that causes the change. Only quality rice vinegar can do that! Some commercial pickled ginger has red coloring added. Cut pieces of ginger into paper thin slices for serving.

Steps:

• Peel the garlic and cut the larger cloves, so all the pieces are similar size.
• Combine all the ingredients in a pot, and bring them to boiling; cook for just 3 minutes.
• Scald the jars with boiling water.
• Put the garlic with ginger to the jars, and place them thickly.
• Pour some marinade into the jars, so it covers all the garlic.
• Close the jars tightly, and put them upside down for half an hour.
• Store at least two months before opening.

Steps:

• Peel and thinly slice a 4-inch piece of ginger; put in a small jar. Pierce 1 or 2 Thai chiles with the tip of a knife; add to the jar. Bring 1/2 cup each rice vinegar and water, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 2 star anise pods to a simmer in a saucepan; cook 5 minutes, then pour over the ginger and let cool slightly. Cover and refrigerate overnight or up to 2 weeks.

Steps:
