Peel and slice ginger.
Place slices in a sterilized jar and cover completely with vodka, rice wine, or vinegar.
Seal tightly and refrigerate.
Preserves ginger for up to 1 year, with added flavor.
4. Pickling (Refrigerated)
Slice ginger and pickle in vinegar, sugar, and salt (like sushi ginger).
Store in sterilized jars in the refrigerator.
Lasts for 6–12 months.
5. Storing in Sand (Traditional Method)
Bury unpeeled ginger in a box filled with dry sand.
Keep in a cool, dark, well-ventilated place (like a cellar or pantry).
This slows down sprouting and rotting, extending storage up to 6–12 months.
✅ Best Recommendation: If you want maximum convenience and freshness, freeze whole or grated ginger. If you’d like a shelf-stable option, drying it into powder is your best bet.
