I am a daughter who was born and raised in Shanghai,
I have eaten countless banquets since I was young,
Although I like to change my taste and eat some different cuisines,
But my favorite is the Shanghainese's thick oil red sauce.
This point of the local cuisine not only in the hot dishes to achieve the most incisive play,
Even the cold cuts are not to be underestimated in the banquet of the gang.
The most common cold dishes are smoked fish, Sixi grilled bran, sweet and sour short ribs and pickled cucumbers.
The common feature is that the sauce has a very rich aroma.
The simple ingredients exude unimaginable deliciousness,
The pickled cucumbers made this time are different from other places.
Because it contains a lot of brown sugar, the taste is more in line with the taste of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.
The salty aroma has a sweet taste, and the texture will not feel too sweet and greasy.
Come early in the morning and serve a bowl of rice with a pickled cucumber,
To open up a good mood for the day,
A cold pickled cucumber at the banquet,
It can open up an appetizing "channel" for later meals,
Although it's just an ordinary pickled cucumber,
But it occupies a lot of places in the diet
Let us make a simple and delicious pickled cucumber for our family before the Chinese New Year!

Ingredients

200g Soy Sauce
Cucumber Cucumber
150g White Vinegar
3 pieces Red Chili
170ml Yellow Rock Candy

Homemade Pickled Cucumbers

1. Prepare the ingredients, wash the cucumber, remove both ends, cut into sections for later use

2. Pour the soy sauce into the pot

3. Pour in white vinegar

4. Put the yellow rock sugar and red pepper into the pot and cook until the rock sugar melts

5. Stir the sauce evenly and put in the previously prepared cucumber segments

6. Cook until the surface of the cucumber turns yellow, then turn off the heat and put it in a water-free airtight jar for one day.

Tips:
1 The small cucumber used here is a variety called fruit cucumber. It has a thin skin and a crispy taste. It is just right to make pickled cucumbers.
2 I put a lot of rock candy here. If you don't like too sweet rock candy, you can reduce it to about 130G.
3 If there are friends in the family, white vinegar can also be replaced with apple cider vinegar. This taste may be better.
4 The cooked pickled cucumbers must be put in a jar and sealed for one day, so that the taste will follow. It is recommended to store the jar in the refrigerator in summer.
