Pickled Ginger

Ingredients

• 8 oz of fresh ginger root, peeled
• 1 ½ tsp salt
• 1 cup rice vinegar
• 1/3 cup of white sugar

Instructions

1. Clean a jar well before using.
2. Cut ginger into chunks, place in a jar, and sprinkle with the salt. Let sit for 20 - 30 minutes.
3. In a saucepan, stir together rice vinegar and sugar until the sugar has dissolved and has come to a boil.
4. Pour this mixture into the jar with the ginger. Let cool.
5. Then place it in the fridge for at least 1 week. It will start to turn a light pink color! This is a natural reaction of rice vinegar.
