To marinate ginger for a dish like "Jiang Bula" (ginger not spicy), you can follow these steps:
1. Peel and slice the ginger into thin strips or small cubes.
2. Mix the ginger with salt, sugar, and vinegar in a bowl. The ratio of salt to sugar to vinegar can vary based on personal preference, but a common ratio is 1:1:1.
3. Add some water to cover the ginger completely in the bowl.
4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours. The longer you marinate the ginger, the more flavorful it will become.
5. Stir the ginger occasionally to ensure that all pieces are evenly marinated.
6. Once the ginger has reached your desired level of flavor, it is ready to be used in your dish.
