How to make vinegar-soaked ginger:
1.First we need to clean the ginger. It is best to choose young ginger or young ginger to make ginger. The pungent taste is not that strong, so it tastes better and has less irritation to the gastrointestinal tract, which is very suitable.
2. Peel and slice the ginger. The peeled ginger is not beautiful enough. You can peel it or cut it according to your preference. In addition, you can also use a little salt to "drain" the water from the cut ginger slices, so that the vinegar flavor is easier to absorb and the taste is more pure.
3. Add boiling water to the glass bottle and scald it. It is best to sterilize it at high temperature, and then dry it to make sure there is no moisture inside. Then put the ginger slices into the bottle until the ginger slices are submerged.
4. Add appropriate amount of rice vinegar and sugar. The addition of sugar can make the sour taste of vinegar less strong. Ginger soaked in vinegar also tastes slightly sweet, which is very smooth. The dosage can also be slightly less if you don’t like sugar. If you use high-quality aged vinegar, it doesn't actually matter if you add sugar or not.
5. Store in a cool place for a week before eating.
The method of making vinegar-soaked ginger is very simple. It can be easily done at home, and requires very few ingredients and jars. It tastes refreshing and delicious. There has been a folk saying since ancient times that "eating radish in winter and ginger in summer" means eating ginger in summer helps to increase Yang Qi. I remember that my grandpa used to soak ginger in a jar of vinegar every summer. This should also be helpful for his strong body.
