If you’re in a hurry you can use ready-made pickled ginger.
If you can make the pickled ginger 1-2 days ahead it’ll be great, otherwise a few hours is fine. It will keep covered in the fridge for up to 3 months.
If you have any leftover rice, it’s important to follow food safety guidelines (see delicious. Kitchen).
A crisp, citrussy dry riesling suits this well – pick a modern New Zealand label.
