Pickled Ginger

Rita~'s Note:

recipe by Chefs Anne and David Gingrass, tweaked by me. I know it's so easy to go and buy pickled ginger. But when I have a client that gives me so much fresh I just had to find a recipe! You can use all rice wine vinegar. Modern scientific research has revealed that ginger possesses numerous therapeutic properties including antioxidant effects, an ability to inhibit the formation of inflammatory compounds, and direct anti-inflammatory effects.
