Lacto-Fermented Ginger

Lacto-Fermented Ginger

We used fresh Ginger in a dish we cooked yesterday which set my fermenting mind in motion. We always have jars of fermented Garlic on hand, but Ginger? Oh why not…..

Ingredients:-

2 Hands of Ginger, roughly cut into lumps
2 heaped Table Spoons of Himalayan Salt
½ a litre of water.

Method:-

(1) Heat the water to dissolve the Salt and allow to cool to room temperature.
(2) Add the Ginger to a clip top jar.
(3) Pour the brine in so that the Ginger is covered.
(4) Seal the jar and allow to ferment. Fermentation will start in a couple of days. Allow it to ferment out and it will store for months.

We’re discovered that the fresh Ginger in our recipe last night was really good for Sue’s digestive issues. So hopefully a pickled version will work equally well. This brine was nearer to the 3% rather than the usual 2% salinity. I’m expecting quite a vigorous / violent fermentation as there’s lots of sugars in the root…..

Asian Umami Burger

Hand pressed Burgers used to be a major part of our menu in a previous life. So as we work our way through our “100 Asian Recipe” a Burger was almost inevitable really. We might never go back to our staple mince, salt and pepper gig……

Ingredients:-

500g of Minced Beef
1 Tbsp of White Miso Paste
1 Tsp of Fish Sauce
1 Tbsp of Tomato Puree
1 Tsp of Honey
¼ Tspo of Chilli Flakes
3 Cloves of Garlic, minced
1 Thumb of Ginger, minced
1 Tbsp of Soy Sauce (Gluten free for us)
Salt & Pepper to season
A little Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl.
(2) Press into Burgers.
(3) Fry in a little Oil.

Cheese doesn’t really work with Asian flavours so we simply had Red Onions, Lettuce and Tomatoes in the hand made Gluten free Buns, with DIY Gluten free Onion Rings over the top.
