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. "

Ingredients

Sour Lettuce

1. After peeling the lettuce, cut into large sections or put it in a small pot with a hob, sprinkle it in salt and marinate for 2 hours.

2. Generally, lettuce is pickled and softened.

3. Place the pickled lettuce in a well-ventilated place and let it dry. It can also be soaked in water for a period of time to desalinate, so that the taste of the pickles made by the sauce is sweet and sour.

4. Put the dried lettuce yards in a small pot or crock pot for pickles, pour in the sweet noodle sauce and a little sugar.

5. Flip the lettuce so that the sweet flour sauce covers the lettuce. Flip the sauce once a day for 7 days.

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.
