CHINA MOON PICKLED GINGER

Steps:

• Cover ginger with boiling water. Let stand 2 minutes, then drain in colander. Put the ginger in a large, clean glass jar or plastic container.
• Combine the remaining ingredients in a non-reactive pot. Stir over medium heat until the sugar and salt dissolve. Pour over ginger.
• Let cool completely, then cover and chill in refrigerator for at least 24 hours before using. Enjoy!
• The thin slices of ginger make a good addition to plates of grilled meat, fish, or poultry. Minced or julienned, they are good added to sauces and marinades. The juice can be used in hot and cold sauces, spring roll dips, and salad dressings. You will get 3/4 cup ginger and about 2 cups juice.

CHINA MOON TEN SPICE

Steps:

• Toast the whole spices together in a small dry skillet over low heat. Stir and adjust the heat so spices toast without burning. Stir until the spices are totally fragrant and the fennel seeds and lighter colored spices are lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in ground spices.
• Use a spice grinder or coffee grinder to grind the mix finely.
• Store in a tightly covered glass jar.
• May use in seasoning marinades and sauces, mayonnaises, chopped meat mixes, sauteed veggies and pastas. Enjoy!
