I want to use Laba garlic as a side meal during the Chinese New Year, so I pickled some by myself. Laba garlic is generally pickled in Laba and eaten during the New Year. After a period of marinating, the color turns green and looks good. In fact, Laba garlic is easy to change color. After pickling, it will turn green in three days in a warm place during the day and in a cold place at night. I put it on the balcony during the day, and it is warm even in winter on a sunny day, and it is kept in the refrigerator at night. After this temperature difference is marinated, the color turns green in 3 days. But after the color turns green, the garlic has a strong spiciness. If you want to taste it, it’s best to marinate for about 20 days

Ingredients

300g Garlic
300g Rice Vinegar
100g White Vinegar
5g Salt
50g Sugar

Laba Garlic

1. Split the purple garlic.

2. Cut off both ends, then peel off the skin. Cutting both ends is good for the taste, and the color changes quickly.

3. All peeled garlic.

4. Put the vinegar, sugar, and salt into a sealed glass jar and stir well until the sugar melts. For the vinegar, choose rice vinegar that is not dark in color. The rice vinegar I chose is light-colored, but I still add some white vinegar to the rice vinegar. You can also use all-purpose white vinegar, but the taste is not as good as rice vinegar.

5. Add garlic.

6. Gai Gai, it's like this in one day. There is heating in the house, you can put the heating room during the day, and put the refrigerator at night. On sunny days, you can also put it on a closed balcony during the day, put it in the refrigerator at night, or put it on the balcony without moving. Because the temperature on the balcony at night is also very low in winter.

7. This is what it looked like after 3 days of marinating, and everything turned green. But it's still a bit spicy. After marinating for about 20 days, there is basically no spicy taste, and it tastes better.

8. This is the color inside, which looks better than the outside.

Tips:
Just pay attention to the temperature difference when marinating, it can quickly turn green. There is heating in the house, you can put the heating room during the day, and put the refrigerator at night. On sunny days, you can also put it on a closed balcony during the day, put it in the refrigerator at night, or put it on the balcony without moving. Because the temperature on the balcony at night is also very low in winter.
