Pickles should be a necessary side dish for our daily life at home. It is a pleasant taste to drink porridge early, and to put a plate of crispy or sweet and sour pickles at the dinner.
Three famous pickles in the world: Fuling mustard, German sweet and sour cabbage, European pickled cucumber. I think that Korean kimchi should be a world-famous pickle, but there is no place in front of Fuling mustard, sweet and sour cabbage, and pickled cucumber.

The famous pickle in Jining is "Yutang pickle", which is a special pickle in Jining. Dai Yutang, a native of Gusu in the Qing Dynasty, used southern technology to produce northern-style pickles, and was once known as "famous in Beijing" and "famous in Jiangnan". The main dishes are wrapped melon, grinded eggplant, etc. It has a history of one hundred years from the Qing Dynasty to the present, and it is one of Shandong's famous snacks.
Pickles cannot be called "pickles", because pickles are the "top match" in pickles, and the flavor and crispness of the sauce is unmatched by pickles.

Yutang pickles are really delicious, but the price is really expensive, it is a bit extravagant to eat everyday. Fortunately, now there are DIY, copycat and other techniques, so you can make a simple pickle at home to satisfy your appetite and experience the fun of DIY. The process of making pickles is purely my own fabrication. Any similarity is a coincidence.

For the noodle sauce, buy the sweet noodle sauce in bulk, and use lettuce as the ingredients, because the sauce lettuce in Yutang Sauce Garden is really delicious. I pickled the peeled lettuce with salt and drained the water and then directly pickled it with sweet noodle sauce. It was marinated at room temperature for about 7 days. Because the temperature is high now, the noodle sauce is a bit fermented, and the lettuce from the sauce is sweet and sour.
Because the lettuce is killed by salt and water, the lettuce produced by the sauce is oily and delicate, and the taste is crisp and crisp. I haven't tried French pickled cucumbers, but the lettuce I sauce is also sweet and sour, with a crispy taste. If you don't like the sour taste, you can put the pickles in the freezer of the refrigerator for pickling. "

Tips:

1. After the vegetables are pickled in refined salt, they will taste crispy in the sauce.

2. Pickled vegetables should be pickled for more than 7 days before eating, which can partially reduce the damage of nitrite.



In the process of storage and pickling, vegetables will produce large amounts of nitrite under the action of bacteria. However, when bacteria decompose nitrous acid, they produce acidic substances such as acetic acid and lactic acid, which can decompose nitrite.

Therefore, when pickling vegetables, the content of nitrite will generate, increase, decrease, and then disappear. The pickles react with salt (sodium chloride) to produce sodium nitrite and then sodium nitrate. Sodium nitrate is not harmful to the human body.
