Thanks for this recipe. I need to mention that I bought what is called seasoned rice vinegar. It already has salt and sugar in it. I followed this recipe, then tasted it, and it was way too salty because the vinegar already had the sugar and salt in it. So I rinsed the ginger off and just added more vinegar. This was so easy and I can't believe I can have this at home whenever I want. I went to the store and saw the prepared ones had all kinds of preservatives and artificial color. Thank you!

Love this quick pickle and use it often. Super easy and tasty.

Few notes. Young ginger is best - softer flesh, less spicy. Boiling/blanching the ginger also helps with the spiciness. Rubbing with salt helps dehydrate it helps it absorb more of the pickling solution.

This may seem like a silly question but should the jar be lidded while sitting at room temp ?

YES! So easy and delicious to make at home instead of spending a futile time staring and decoding ingredients of the pre-made massive pickled ginger packets suspended in plastics. Thank you.

If using Seasoned Rice Vinegar, skip the sugar and salt.
