PICKLED GINGER FOR SUSHI
I love pickled ginger and this really does taste (and look) like the ginger that you get in the sushi restaurant. I adapted a recipe from a Fish and 'Shellfish cookbook.

Steps:
- Peel the ginger and slice it as thin as humanly possible.
- Rub the sliced ginger with the coarse salt until you do not feel the graininess of the salt.
- Place ginger in a mixing bowl and refrigerate for several hours.
- After ginger has sat for several hours, take it out and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
- Put ginger in a clean jar.
- Put the vinegar, water,food coloring, and sugar in a small sauce pan and bring to a simmer.
- Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
- Pour over ginger and allow to cool slightly.
- Seal the jar and allow to"cure" in the refrigerator for at least 3 days.
- (This allows the flavor to mellow out some... you can use it sooner, but it will have more of a"bite").
