How to make pickled red ginger Onigiri rice balls. in this video,I am making homemade pickled red ginger. Japanese Onigiri recipe.
Red ginger gives good accent to the Onigiri and colour is also good.
★traditional Japanese pickled ginger, Gari-Sushi ginger. Benisyoga-red ginger★
In Japan we make Sushi ginger using New Ginger.
New ginger has thin skin and more white-ish, also part of ginger (near stalk) is pink.
So traditional Sushi ginger is pale pink.
But Red ginger is you need to dye. In Japan, traditionaly we use Ume vinegar (made from red Shiso leaves) this is a byproduct of making Umeboshi, It's salted plum.
I can't get Ume vinegar easily here in London. So made using vegetable which contains anthocyanin like beetroot( for red colour)
