Detailed Introduction to the Processing Method of Red Ginger Slices

Wash the ginger, peel it, cut it into slices, and soak them in water for 5-7 days, then change the water and rinse them for 7-10 days. Remove the ginger slices, dry the surface water, then boil them in sugar and steam them. When the ginger slices become translucent yellow and bright, cool them, then place them into a vat in layers of one layer of ginger slices and one layer of white granulated sugar, and add 5-8 kg of salt per 100 kg of ginger slices. After 20-30 minutes, part of the sugar and salt will dissolve and penetrate into the tissue of the ginger slices, then carry out low-temperature treatment so that white granulated sugar adheres and coagulates on the ginger slices. Then, at a ratio of 3.5 g of edible carmine per 100 kg of ginger slices, mix it with 3 liters of boiling water to make an edible carmine dilution, pour it into the vat of ginger slices and mix well to dye the ginger slices, and it will be ready after about 25 days.
