Sweet and sour pickled ginger (sushi gari) 🍣

through ANCENASAN Admin on August 08, 2025

Ingredients:

  • 100g fresh ginger, peeled

  • 250ml water

  • 100ml organic rice vinegar

  • 2 tbsp raw cane sugar

  • 1 tsp sea salt

Preparation:

  1. Peel the fresh ginger and cut it into wafer-thin slices along the grain with a potato peeler or sharp knife - or use a fine slicer.

  2. Heat water and blanch the ginger in it for 1½ minutes. Then drain in a sieve. You can drink the ginger water diluted later - or simply pour it away.

  3. Put rice vinegar, raw cane sugar and salt in a pot. Heat until the sugar has completely dissolved, then bring to the boil.

  4. Place the wafer-thin ginger slices in a hot-rinsed, sufficiently large glass jar with a metal lid. Pour the hot vinegar mixture over it.
    The ginger may take on a slightly pink hue - this is completely normal.

  5. Screw the lid on tightly, turn the jar upside down and let it cool.

  6. Let the pickled ginger jar steep in the refrigerator for 1-2 days before enjoying the ginger with various dishes or homemade sushi.

Note:
Due to its high salt, acid and sugar content, sushi ginger stays fresh for a long time and does not spoil.
