We go to a little Amish village in Amana, Iowa and they used to serve this at a restaurant there. It was so popular they gave out the recipes on cards and I was lucky enough to get one. We love this!

SAUERKRAUT SALAD
Great-Grandma Maida Dixon made this salad for family gatherings. I think of her every time I make. It's sooo good. It needs to be placed in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld. It really is worth the wait.

PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH AMISH GINGER SAUERKRAUT
I lived in PA Dutch area for several years in my mid teens and although very, very different from Japanese cooking, I fell in love with some of the local specialties such as sauerkraut, beet eggs, sauerkraut and pork, pot pie (chicken stew with homemade thick noodle) or botpie, numerous relishes and pickles, and ice cream made from local milk. This dish is a bit more to it than the regular braised sauerkraut with onions and in my opinion much tastier one with a greater depth of flavor.
