The authentic pickling method of pickled ginger is like cooking a delicacy, full of wisdom and passion. First of all, choose fresh ginger, preferably with full flesh and bright color. Wash the selected ginger and blanch it in boiling water to remove its pungent taste. After blanching, remove the ginger, drain and cut into thin slices or strips. Next, prepare the marinade. Mix together the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, salt, Sichuan pepper and other seasonings and stir well. In this process, you can add some millet spicy or chili powder to increase the spiciness of the ginger. Place the sliced ginger in a clean glass jar and pour in the marinade until the ginger is completely submerged. Then, close the cap and store tightly sealed. Shake the bottle several times a day for the next few days to allow the spice to penetrate well into the ginger. Over time, the ginger will gradually become crispy and the color will become dark and shiny. Finally, enjoy open. It can be eaten as an accompaniment to snacks or with rice, and it has a great taste. You can marinate multiple portions at a time, keep them in the refrigerator, and enjoy them at any time.
The pickled ginger is not only crispy in taste, but also bright in color, which is very attractive. With every bite, you will feel the unique sweet and sour taste, as well as a slight spicy taste. This flavor goes well with rice, and it goes well with beer and rice wine, making it a favorite accompaniment to alcohol.
If you want to have a richer taste, try adding some minced garlic or ginger to the marinating process to make the ginger more flavorful. Also, if you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add more sugar to the dressing, and if you prefer a more sour taste, you can add more vinegar. By adjusting the proportion of marinade according to your personal taste, you can get the ginger that best suits your taste. In addition to being a delicacy, ginger has many other benefits. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that ginger has the functions of dispelling wind and cold, appetizing and eliminating food, which can help people improve gastrointestinal function and enhance human immunity. Therefore, in the cold season, eating some ginger appropriately can not only enjoy the deliciousness, but also escort the health of the body.
