Tips;
1. Choose fresh cowpeas for brewing. After washing the cowpeas, dry the water or wipe off the water before brewing.
2. The spices can be matched according to your own taste. The flavor of the spices is better to be lighter, and the spices such as star anise and cumin should be used less, just add a little taste. You can put more tender ginger chili, and use it for cooking after soaking.
3. When using pickled peppers to make chopped peppers, it is better to soak them for more than 20 days to have a strong flavor and can be used to fry fish-flavored dishes. When using it, you can chop the pickled peppers into puree, or use a food processor to beat them into hot sauce, and use it with Pixian hot sauce to taste even better! The fried dishes taste more authentic!
4. If kimchi is brewed more than three times, it can be replaced with a new soup, otherwise it will be brewed too fast, and the taste will be too strong and the crispness of fresh vegetables will be lost. When you don’t need to replace the new soup, you should boil the old soup before making new dishes and let it cool before making a second time. This can keep the food clean and hygienic, especially when making kimchi in summer. The purpose of replacing the old soup after brewing a few times is to keep the kimchi fresh and crispy without making the taste too sour. Lactic acid bacteria must be replaced after repeated fermentation, and food hygiene and safety can only be ensured by eating frequently.
5. The old kimchi soup can be used to make delicious dishes such as "sour soup fish".
