Preparation

1. Place sliced ginger in a large bowl and cover with boiling water. Let stand for two minutes, then drain. Place the ginger in a sterilized container.
2. Combine the remaining ingredients in a large, stainless-steel pot and stir over medium heat just until the sugar and salt dissolve. Pour over the ginger and let cool.
3. When the mixture is cool, cover and refrigerate for 24 hours before using. The pickled ginger will keep indefinitely, refrigerated.
