Ginger's great in soft drinks, in sushi, in her performance in Gilligan's Island, and she's great here with a slight augmentation; she's been pickled! Pickled ginger and sweet chili bring it together here for a lettuce cup of bursting flavor. (And, as always, that fantastic crunch texture.) Great ginger, great meal.
