1. 【Vinegar pickled ginger】
[Raw materials] 800g of tender ginger, 2 teaspoons of table salt, 150g of sugar, appropriate amount of rice vinegar;
【The practice of soaking ginger in vinegar】
Clean the tender ginger without peeling it. After cleaning, put it in a cool and ventilated place to dry the surface moisture;
Cut the dried tender ginger into thin slices. Thin ones are easier to taste. The tools used during making vinegar soaked ginger must be water-free and oil-free, which can prolong the shelf life;
Put the chopped ginger in a large pot, add 2 tablespoons of salt, stir well, and marinate the tender ginger; after marinating, put on gloves to squeeze out the water, and squeeze out the marinated water, which can reduce spicy taste;
Prepare a clean water-free and oil-free container, put the squeezed ginger in it, and add some sugar. The amount of sugar is determined according to your own preferences. You can leave it out or put a little less if you can eat sour. Everyone likes to add some, 800g of fresh tender ginger is added with 150g of white sugar, so that the vinegar soaked ginger is sour and sweet, and it tastes better. Pour in rice vinegar, and the rice vinegar will be fine without the ginger;

2. [Ginger hits milk]
[Raw materials] 1 piece of old ginger, 360g of whole milk, 20g of sugar, 30g of milk powder;
[The practice of ginger bumping into milk]
Clean the old ginger, peel off the outer skin, and then rub it into filaments or ginger paste, which is more convenient to produce ginger juice. The ginger protease in ginger juice is easy to fail when exposed to the air for a long time, so it is recommended to grind ginger juice now. Use now; pour the ground ginger or ginger paste on the colander, press out the ginger juice, try to press as hard as possible, and extract all the ginger juice;
Add about 15g of pressed ginger juice to each bowl, about 30g of ginger juice used in two bowls, set aside for later use;
Prepare a milk pot, add 360g of whole milk, 30g of milk powder, and 20g of sugar into the pot. First stir and dissolve the milk powder, and then heat it on a low heat. The purpose of adding milk powder is to increase the protein content in the milk, the better the protein content. , the coagulation effect will be better, the amount of sugar determines the sweetness of the ginger milk you made, and it has nothing to do with whether it coagulates;
The milk in the milk pot does not need to be completely boiled. Prepare a thermometer. The milk can be heated to about 80 degrees. If there is no thermometer, it will start to bubble from the side of the pot. After cooking for about 20 seconds, it will be almost 80 degrees. After that, stir the ginger juice in the bowl quickly with a spoon to avoid the ginger juice from precipitation;
Then take the milk boiled to 80 degrees higher, and pour the high-level milk directly into the bowl with the ginger juice. This kind of "collision" is actually for better fusion. Don't stir after the milk is rushed in, put Let it stand on one side, when the temperature drops to 70 degrees, it will condense;
After the coagulation is successful, the ginger milk is completed. The surface of the prepared ginger milk is delicate and smooth. Scoop a spoonful and it melts in the mouth. The slightly spicy ginger juice and the fragrance of the milk are perfectly combined;
