HOMEMADE PICKLED GINGER (GARI)



Homemade Pickled Ginger (Gari) image

Pickled ginger is called gari or amazu shoga in Japanese. It's served with sushi or sashimi and eaten between different kinds of sushi. It helps to clean your taste buds and enhance the flavors. It's also great with Century Eggs - a Chinese delicacy. You can find prepared pickled ginger in pink or white at most Asian markets but I preferred to make my own and share with family and friends.

Time 45m

Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 ounces fresh young ginger root, peeled
1 ½ teaspoons sea salt
1 cup rice vinegar
⅓ cup white sugar

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.

DILL PICKLES

Make your own dill pickles at home with Alton Brown's easy recipe from Good Eats on Food Network.

Provided by Alton Brown

Time P10DT15m

Yield 3 pounds pickles

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 1/2 ounces pickling salt, approximately 1/2 cup
1 gallon filtered water
3 pounds pickling cucumbers, 4 to 6-inches long
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon dill seed
1 large bunch dill

Steps:

  • Combine the salt and water in a pitcher and stir until the salt has dissolved.
  • Rinse the cucumbers thoroughly and snip off the blossom end stem. Set aside.
  • Place the peppercorns, pepper flakes, garlic, dill seed and fresh dill into a 1-gallon crock. Add the cucumbers to the crock on top of the aromatics. Pour the brine mixture over the cucumbers in order to completely cover. Pour the remaining water into a 1-gallon ziptop plastic bag and seal. Place the bag on top of the pickles making sure that all of them are completely submerged in the brine. Set in a cool, dry place.
  • Check the crock after 3 days. Fermentation has begun if you see bubbles rising to the top of the crock. After this, check the crock daily and skim off any scum that forms. If scum forms on the plastic bag, rinse it off and return to the top of the crock.
  • The fermentation is complete when the pickles taste sour and the bubbles have stopped rising; this should take approximately 6 to 7 days. Once this happens, cover the crock loosely and place in the refrigerator for 3 days, skimming daily or as needed. Store for up to 2 months in the refrigerator, skimming as needed. If the pickles should become soft or begin to take on an off odor, this is a sign of spoilage and they should be discarded.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm cucumbers for the best pickles.
  • Use a variety of pickling spices to create unique flavor combinations.
  • Let the pickles ferment for at least 2 weeks before eating them to allow the flavors to develop.
  • Store the pickles in a cool, dark place to preserve their flavor and texture.
  • Experiment with different pickling recipes to find your favorite combinations.
