Tips:
The pickles used here are one of the three treasures of the Chaoshan area. The raw materials used for pickles in different regions are also different. I don’t have a casserole, so I don’t use an enamel pot directly. Try to choose the casserole or pottery pot without over-producing materials. It doesn’t matter if you order less. If you have soy beans at home, just add some. If you don’t have soy beans at home, you don’t add them. It is not recommended to buy too fatty parts, such as pig's feet.
