The Practice of Authentic Sichuan Kimchi
1.
First buy jars for kimchi. Jars are sold in large vegetable markets. You must first test the degree of sealing of the jars, let the seller test it, light a bunch of paper, put in the water, and see if the water seeps out. Put water in, close the lid, and slowly open the lid. If it feels very tight, you can open it, indicating that the seal is good. Wash the jars after buying them back, dry them, and let them breathe.
2.
The production of salt water: boil purified water, let cool, or use mineral water (again, don’t get oily), put it in a jar and half a jar, pour 800 grams of pickling salt, and pour in 50 ml of white wine. Don’t buy authentic Erguotou or pure grain liquor. Here we talk about the amount of salt and wine. There is no strict ratio. First put less salt, try pickling cabbage, taste the saltiness, and then add it as appropriate. If you soak more peppers, add more, and if you soak more vegetables, you can add less. Point; do not use too much wine, put a little less at a time, and if you find white on the surface, add a proper amount. If you like to bring sweetness, you can add some rock sugar. We don't like to put sugar in all the dishes in our family.
3.
Fresh small red peppers, you can use larger red peppers, they are also delicious. They are not so spicy. Cut them into two sections with scissors and soak. The peppers need to be cut off the stems, and then use the toothpick jacks, as shown in the picture ( Take out the toothpick)
4.
Fresh young ginger, washed and dried
5.
Tender garlic, remove both ends, tear off the surface film, wash and dry
6.
Half a bag of green peppercorns in a bag, this must not be less, it will make the salt water taste particularly good, and it is not easy to grow the white layer. This supermarket is not easy to buy, you have to go to the condiment hall of the vegetable market to buy it.
7.
The amount of carrots is right, soak it for an hour or two, soak as you eat, or soak in the heart and cut into pieces. This will make the salt water very beautiful, slightly red, and the radishes are crisp and refreshing. Seasonal vegetables such as cucumber, cowpea, cabbage can be soaked
