How to Make Pickled Ginger for Sushi Rolls

This recipe for pickled ginger, or "gari" in Japanese, yields a flavorful, delicious, and crispy taste just like you'd get at a Japanese restaurant. And it's easy to make at home. To ensure uniformly thin slices, use a special vegetable slicer. They're simmered for half an hour in a mixture of rice vinegar, hot peppers, and spices, then cooled and refrigerated for up to a month. A small beetroot added to the marinade will give the ginger a pleasant pink hue. This trick is helpful if the ginger isn't young and doesn't naturally color.

  • 2 cups (0.3 cm thick) slices ginger, peeled
  • 2 tbsp. rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp. salt
  • 0.5 cups of sugar
