How to Make Spicy Homemade Ginger Pickle

Ingredients You’ll Need

Step-by-Step Preparation

  1. Peel and slice the ginger into thin rounds.
  2. Sprinkle salt over the ginger and let it sit for 30 minutes to draw out moisture.
  3. In a small pan, gently warm the vinegar and sugar until the sugar dissolves.
  4. Add chili flakes or fresh chilies for a spicy kick.
  5. Place the salted ginger into a clean glass jar.
  6. Pour the warm vinegar mixture over the ginger, making sure all slices are covered.
  7. Seal the jar and let it cool before refrigerating. For best flavor, allow it to rest for at least a week.

You can adjust the sugar and chili levels to suit your taste. For a milder pickle, reduce the chilies or use only a pinch of chili flakes. If you prefer extra heat, add more chilies or a dash of black pepper.
