Description
Although an apple a day is surely healthy, Japanese cuisine has gifted the world with the concept of having a helping of Beni Shoga (Red Ginger) to promote health and wellbeing. Ginger is a rhizohme, tangy, potent and spicy in its own right. Gingersol, the compound in ginger, provides outstanding healing properties, enabling a better digestion, lowering cholesterol, boosting the immune system, and according to some even preventing cancer. Asian food and cooking, for centuries, promoted not just culinary excellence and sharp, delicious contrasting tastes, but also favored foods that had medicinal and health benefits. The very acidic Benishoga is a prime example of an Asian condiment that begins with a very healthy ingredient, Ginger, and makes that ginger more potent with fermentation. The solution that brines the Beni-Shoga is a byproduct of the picking of Ume, a sour acidic Asian fruit. The end result is a pickled condiment that is sour, healthy, tangy and creates a perfect complement to any fried or heavy dishes.
Whether creating a classic Japanese rice bowl, experimenting with Ramen noodles, stir-frying Asian style, batter-dipping fish and veggies, or creating a hearty Asian meat dish, the sour Benishoga pickle is an Asian staple ingredient you will want in your pantry.
