Pickled ginger, or gari, is an essential Japanese condiment to accompany your sushi. It is slightly sweet, tangy, and very fragrant. Served between bites of sushi, it cleanses the palate and allows you to better appreciate the flavors of the fish. This homemade recipe is quick, simple, and offers an authentic taste.

Instructions

Peel the fresh ginger with the back of a spoon to preserve as much flesh as possible.
Slice it very thinly using a mandolin or a sharp knife to obtain thin, delicate strips.
Blanch the ginger. Boil some water in a small saucepan.
Soak the ginger slices for 1 to 2 minutes to soften the taste and remove the spiciness.
Drain and let cool.
In a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt.
Heat over low heat until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Allow to cool slightly.
Place the blanched ginger in a clean jar.
Pour the warm marinade over the ginger until it is completely submerged.
Close the jar and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before serving.

Recipe notes

The longer ginger marinates, the milder and more fragrant the flavor will be. You can prepare it 2 to 3 days in advance for optimal flavor.

Variations: Add a splash of yuzu or lemon juice for a fresher, tangier flavor.
