Normally, I am using young ginger root to make sushi pickled ginger (Gari). So, if you were to use sushi grade young ginger for other recipes, the answer is yes. But, I rarely use the pickled ginger for other recipes for substitute.. See also details in my next post for Japanese sushi pickled ginger recipes.. Stay tune. Thanks
It’s been awhile since I made this.. Think I’m going make this for the hubby tonight.. Great post.

Soksabay, Youlin.
I tried this recipe, tastes good alright. In fact my husband loved the gingery taste.
In your direction, you said to marinate the pork — but marinate with what? With the ginger-garlic-sugar mixture? Thanks.

Sreisaat,
Oops.. sorry for that.. Exactly as what you said.. marinate with the ginger-garlic-sugar mixture. Thanks for dropping by.
