1. The best cucumber is dry cucumber. I bought fruit cucumbers today, which is not bad. Soak the bought cucumbers in light salt water for 10 minutes and rub them with flour to remove pesticide residues as much as possible. If they are peeled, they don’t need to be so troublesome. But pickles must be peeled to make them crispy. The cowpea beans are also soaked in light salt water for 10 minutes, and washed repeatedly.
2. Perilla is roasted and very fragrant. Cumin is raw, and you can add a little more sugar according to your favorite taste.
3. Cut the washed cowpea into about 2 inches.
4. Cut the washed cucumber into strips, about the thickness of your finger.
5. Cut the onion into strips, and don't cut it too finely, because the vinegar will lose its spiciness after steaming. All the ingredients were cut into two pots like this.
6. Add the appropriate amount of seasoning perilla, cumin, salt, sugar and organic vinegar to the two bowls and mix well. You can taste the flavor of the seasoning. If you like sweet, add more sugar, and if you like salty, add more salt. It is determined according to personal taste.
7. One pot with cowpea corners, and one pot without cowpea corners.
8. Put it in the electric steamer, put the upper and lower drawers and one drawer, fill the water tank of the electric steamer and cover the steaming lid. Note that this electric steamer does not need to be preheated, the biggest feature of SAIC Motor Speed Block, 10 seconds SAIC, set 10 minutes, start the switch.
9. The steaming box is large, just 2 pots, which is very convenient and saves electricity and water. When the time is up, unplug the power, turn on the electric steamer, take out the steamed pickled cucumber and cowpea, you can see the color of the vinegar soaked in yellow.
10. Let cool, crisp and refreshing, put it in a container with a lid, put it in the refrigerator, and eat it for a week.
Tips:1. The electric steaming box does not need to be preheated, and the air is fast. Pay attention to heat-resistant tableware. Do not add water above the maximum water level. After the timing is completed, wait a while before opening the steaming cover to prevent burns.
2. The sweetness and saltiness of the pickled cucumber and cowpea add seasonings according to your favorite taste. The steaming time is about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the cucumber strips. Note that you should turn it once during the steaming process to avoid steaming. Uneven, don’t over-steam, the cucumber won’t be crispy and tender after steaming.
