Production steps of authentic Sichuan sauerkraut
1. Pickled vegetables are fresh vegetables selected in the season and are not easy to soak. The first soaking begins with the radish soaking in water, because the radish adds color to the salt water.
2. Wash the radish. Let it dry.
3. Prepare ginger, fresh garlic and beans, cowpea is the best. There is no cowpea here. Let's use this bean instead. This kind of beans can't be soaked for long. Soak it for a long time and it will soften. Cowpea horns can be soaked for a long time.
4. Wash the jar, dry it and add cold boiled water. Be sure to cool the boiling water, there is no bacteria.
5. Add salt, this salt should be put more. The tip of the tongue says 1: 50, which means a catty of salt and 50 jins of water. This ratio is a little small, especially for the first time. Salty ones are easier to taste and ferment as soon as possible. In some places, this step will add some white wine. We divide this into different places. There is no white wine in our hometown, and mountain spring water is the sweetest.
6. pickles in my hometown are all made of radish. Leave some cherries, and this cherry can also be removed. It's delicious if you don't remove it. I cut some strips for quick curing.
7. Put the radish in the jar first.
8. Add beans and fresh garlic.
9. In order to take the radish strips conveniently, I put a layer of radish strips on it.
10. Put a layer of fresh red pepper.
1 1. Garlic can sterilize and improve the taste.
12. Adding ginger can also improve the taste and sterilize.

15. This is the sixth day. Look at the color. It's beautiful.
16. Look inside
17. Do you feel drooling after opening it?
