Tips:
1. Kimchi is too sour and salt; not crispy and white wine is added. Master the balance of kimchi water.
2. To make diving kimchi, use earthen pottery jars to make the most particular ones. If there is no jar, glass jars can be used.
3. Do not peel the radish. The radish with the skin protection is not easy to rot, does not spoil the water, and has a crisper taste.
4. To make diving kimchi, the vegetables can be put into the jar without completely drying.
5. The most important feature of Sichuan kimchi is the ginger flavor, so too little ginger should be used.
6. Meat dishes are usually pork ears, chicken feet and pork offal. Cook the ingredients first, then put them in the kimchi jar. The whole kimchi jar must be refrigerated and the temperature is kept at 0~5 degrees to ensure that the meat dishes do not deteriorate and taste. Also better.
7. Laotan kimchi soaks for a long time, ranging from 3 months to more than half a year. In contrast, diving kimchi is much simpler, usually with a transparent glass jar device, soaking for up to 5 days.
8. Sugar plays a key role in the crispness of kimchi. Caramel sugar is the best sugar, and rock sugar or sugar cane stalks can also be used instead.
9. Add appropriate amount of salt and white wine every time you place the ingredients. Salt can ensure that the jar water is not diluted. The white wine helps to ferment and prevent blooming.
10. The color of kimchi soup is dark, turbid, viscous (similar to thin rice soup), and has a strong sour taste, which means that the kimchi has become rotten and can no longer be eaten.
