Instructions
Set a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet.
Mix 2 cups of sugar and 2 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves.
Add the sliced ginger. Simmer it until tender and translucent, about 45 minutes.
Set a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl, strain the ginger. Reserve the syrup.
Transfer the ginger onto the prepared wire rack. Spread, trying to separate the pieces.
Let dry until tacky but no longer damp (6 to 12 hours).
Place the remaining ¼ cup of sugar in a small mixing bowl. Toss the ginger slices in sugar.
Transfer into an air-tight container; store in room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
