2. Choose sunny weather for several consecutive days. When the sun is 60% dry, the leaves are dry, and they can't be broken once they are caught. To put it bluntly, this step is to dry the plum with water. Because there is too much water, it will be sour when it is fermented, and dried prunes will naturally be sour. If it's sour, it's definitely not delicious. In addition, when dried in the sun, dried plums are more elastic, more resistant to cooking and will not rot together.
3. Now find a big pot without water and oil, put it in dried plums, and add 150g edible salt instead of low sodium salt. It doesn't matter if it's a little salty next. When you rub vegetables, you have to rub juice all over the food. After kneading, if there is too much juice, you should save it hard.
4. Also put it in a clean water-free and oil-free jar, put the kneaded food on it and press the porcelain hard. Sealed, stored in a cool place, fermented for at least 20 days.
This is Chinese cabbage that has been preserved for more than 20 days. You can see that the color turns yellow after fermentation. Then, choose sunny days continuously and open an altar to dry vegetables.
6, open the altar to dry vegetables, this time dry.
7. After drying in the sun, put it in a steamer, put it in cold water, steam it on high fire for 15 minutes, then turn off the heat and stew it until it is cool, almost 3 hours. Yes, this step is the beginning of three steaming and three drying. This is the first time to evaporate.
8. Take it out after stewing, dry it in the sun, then repeat the steaming process twice, and finally dry it.
9. When steaming for the first time, you can already smell the dried plums. The second time, the third time, the fragrance is getting stronger and stronger, and the color of dried plums is getting more and more positive. At this time, it is a veritable dried plum dish.
