Pickled Ginger (gari)

Peel the ginger root and cut into medium-sized pieces and salt it. Leave the ginger in a bowl for 30 min then put into a jar. Mix rice vinegar and sugar in a pan and bring to a boil. Pour the hot mixture of vinegar and sugar on the ginger. Cool, then cover with a lid and place in the refrigerator. In a week, the ginger changes its color to light pink. Slice thinly to serve.

The pickled ginger lasts months in the fridge.

Note: Pickled ginger is served with sushi. Try to eat pieces of pickled ginger between different kinds of sushi. It helps to clean your mouth and enhance the flavors.
