GINGERY QUICK PICKLES
Fresh ginger and lime team up with mildly flavored rice wine vinegar to form a no-cook brine that packs big flavor into everyday cucumbers. Justin Chapple recommends unseasoned rice vinegar so you can control the sweetness. If you can only find seasoned rice vinegar, simply omit the sugar called for in the recipe.

Steps:
- Submerge 3 pint jars on a rack in a large pot of water. Cover and bring to a rolling boil, then reduce heat to low to keep jars warm until ready to fill.
- Combine vinegar, water, honey, and pickling salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Working with one jar at a time, remove empty jars from canning pot and add 1/3 of the ginger to each. Pack carrots into jars, leaving 1/2 inch for headspace.
- Slowly pour hot brine over carrots, leaving 1/2 inch for headspace. Use a clean wooden chopstick to work air bubbles out of jars. Slip in additional carrots if space allows; check headspace again and add more brine if necessary to bring to 1/2 inch from top.
- Wipe jar rims, apply lids and bands (not too tightly), and return jars to canning pot. Cover pot and return water to a rolling boil. Process for 10 minutes. Turn off heat, remove pot lid, and let jars stand in the cooling water 5 minutes to help ensure a good vacuum seal.
- Move jars to a folded kitchen towel or wooden cutting board to cool completely before checking seals. Any unsealed jars should be refrigerated and eaten promptly. Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place. Sealed jars are shelf-stable at least 1 year.

HOMEMADE PICKLED GINGER (GARI)
Pickled ginger is called gari or amazu shoga in Japanese. It's served with sushi or sashimi and eaten between different kinds of sushi. It helps to clean your taste buds and enhance the flavors. It's also great with Century Eggs - a Chinese delicacy. You can find prepared pickled ginger in pink or white at most Asian markets but I preferred to make my own and share with family and friends.

Steps:
- Cut the ginger into chunks and place them into a bowl. Sprinkle with sea salt, stir to coat and let stand for about 30 minutes. Transfer the ginger to a clean jar.
- In a saucepan, stir together the rice vinegar and sugar until sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil, then pour the boiling liquid over the ginger root pieces in the jar.
- Allow the mixture to cool, then put the lid on the jar and store in the refrigerator for at least one week. You will see that the liquid will change to slightly pinkish in few minutes. Don't be alarmed because it's the reaction of rice vinegar that causes the change. Only quality rice vinegar can do that! Some commercial pickled ginger has red coloring added. Cut pieces of ginger into paper thin slices for serving.

Tips:
- Choose the right vegetables: Vegetables that hold their shape well, such as carrots, radishes, and cucumbers, are ideal for pickling. Avoid vegetables that are too soft or delicate, as they may become mushy.
- Use a variety of vegetables: To create a more flavorful pickle, use a variety of vegetables. This will also add visual interest to the dish.
- Prepare the vegetables properly: Before pickling, wash the vegetables thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized pieces. If the recipe calls for blanching the vegetables, do so according to the instructions.
- Make a flavorful pickling liquid: The pickling liquid is what gives the vegetables their flavor, so it's important to make it flavorful. Use a combination of vinegar, water, sugar, and spices to create a brine that is both sweet and tangy.
- Let the vegetables pickle for at least 24 hours: The longer the vegetables pickle, the more flavorful they will become. However, you can start eating them after just 24 hours.
Conclusion:
Gingery sweet pickled vegetables are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed as a snack or as part of a meal. They are also a great way to use up leftover vegetables.
