Ingredients
  

For the Myoga Amazuzuke
  • 200 g myoga (Japanese ginger)
  • 100 ml rice vinegar use a good quality for best flavor
  • 50 g sugar balances the tanginess of the vinegar
  • 1 tsp salt enhances the flavors in the pickling mixture

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Clean Jar

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Rinse the myoga under cold water and slice it thinly. The thinner the slices, the better they will soak up the flavors.
  2. Step 2: In a saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Step 3: Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
  4. Step 4: Place the sliced myoga in a clean jar and pour the cooled vinegar mixture over it, ensuring the myoga is fully submerged.
  5. Step 5: Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. For the best flavor, allow it to marinate for 24 hours.

Notes

Store your myoga amazuzuke in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. The flavors will deepen over time!
