Pickled red ginger (benishoga)
This popular garnish is made from ginger
root that has been pickled in salt and then
again in a vinegar mixture. Traditionally,
a reddish variety of perilla leaves is used
to produce its characteristic deep red color.
It is served with sushi and such dishes as
okonomiyaki(fried-batter "pancakes" mixed
with a wide variety of vegetables, seafood
or meats) and curry rice. |
