Hello there! Today, I'd like to share how to make fermented ginger with you.

Do you like ginger? I love it and use it a lot in my cooking . Making fermented ginger is quite simple.

Before explaining the process, let me share some benefits of fermented ginger

Benefits of Fermented Ginger:

Warms up the body

Boosts the immune systems

Helps prevent lifestyle-related diseases

Has anti-aging properties

Improves digestion and relieves constipation

Ingredients:

Fresh ginger ( I prefer organic ones since we grate them with the skin on )

A clean grass jar

A grater

Preparations:

Wash the ginger well and wipe it well.

Sterilize the glass jar (I usually steam it for about 5 minutes).

Instructions:

Grater the organic gingers ( I won’t specify an amount because it depends on how much you want to make ).

Keep grating, even if it gets a little messy!

Once you are done, place the grated ginger in the jar and fill it up.

Store the jar in the refrigerator and let it ferment for two weeks. Don't open the lid!

The picture below shows the fermented ginger. You can see that it has darkened slightly.

In the picture below, I used a small amount of fermented one as a topping for my homemade amazake. They go very well together.

Since fermented singer has a richer flavor, it might taste spicier than fresh ginger. You can use it in your cooking just like regular ginger.

I hope this tip is useful for you! Happy cooking!!
