Homemade Pickled Ginger (Gari)
Pickled ginger, known as Gari in Japanese cuisine, is a delicately sweet and tangy condiment made from young ginger roots. Renowned for its pale pink hue and thin, tender slices, Gari is traditionally served alongside sushi to cleanse the palate between bites. The young ginger, chosen for its mild flavor and tender texture, is thinly sliced and marinated in a mixture of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. This pickling process not only preserves the ginger but also imparts a subtle sweetness and a mild tang that perfectly complements the natural spiciness of the ginger.
Gari’s refreshing and slightly spicy flavor profile makes it a versatile addition to various dishes beyond sushi, such as salads, rice bowls, and grilled meats. Whether you’re looking to enhance the flavors of your meal or simply enjoy its unique taste on its own, Pickled Ginger (Gari) offers a delightful burst of flavor with every bite.
