I still like the sauerkraut made from old earthen jars. However, since this sauerkraut machine is called a sauerkraut machine, you have to try the sauerkraut made by it. Looking at the manual, could this machine be designed for people from the Northeast? Because the above only talks about the practice of Chinese cabbage. The sauerkraut in the Northeast is always famous. But I don’t remember seeing sauerkraut made with Chinese cabbage in Sichuan. Even if I did, I’m already indifferent. Sichuan's sauerkraut is made of green vegetables, which can also be regarded as a kind of kimchi, but it is different from the kimchi that is directly fished out to serve in daily meals. One of the main ingredients of pickled fish is it. I struggled a bit and thought I was still making Sichuan sauerkraut. The manual also mentions the addition of bacterial powder, which can save you thinking about it. Where is the traditional sauerkraut useful for bacterial powder"

Tips:
Use cold boiled water to make sauerkraut. You can increase or decrease the amount of salt and other seasonings according to your own taste

Sauerkraut made without bacterial powder takes longer, and the time may be shortened after adding bacterial powder.

The prepared sauerkraut can be placed in an airtight container and continue to ferment. If you don't want to continue to ferment, you can keep it in the refrigerator.
