1, No matter what kind of vegetables are pickled, they should be sun-dried for 2-3 days in advance to dry the water inside, then the leaves are peeled off layer by layer, put in hot water for 5 minutes, then soaked in cold water and drained.
2. The water for pickling sauerkraut is also very important. Add salt water or boiled rice soup to the jar. In addition to these two kinds, you can also add some rice washing water, so that the pickled sauerkraut tastes particularly good. Taomi water can increase the acidity of pickled cabbage and produce amino acids during pickling. Amino acids can provide rich vitamins and mineral elements for human body, so that pickled sauerkraut will taste better.
3. Put some white wine when curing, and put the treated cabbage in a clean, water-free and oil-free jar, but don't touch water and oil when curing, otherwise it will go bad easily.
If there is too much water in the jar, it will float easily. We can wash it with stones and put it on Chinese cabbage, which can make Chinese sauerkraut ferment better. When sealing, you can pour 2 spoonfuls of white wine, which can play the role of sterilization and seasoning and make sauerkraut last longer.
Precautions:
1. Pickled vegetables with short curing period are not suitable for eating.
The content of nitrite in kimchi is not high in the first two days, but it reaches a peak on the third to eighth day, which is called nitrite peak. This is because there are many miscellaneous bacteria that can produce nitrite in vegetables. After pickled vegetables, a large amount of nitrite can be produced, but then it gradually decreases and falls to a safe range after one month.
Therefore, especially when pickling vegetables at home, we should pay attention to the pickling time, don't be greedy and eat freshly pickled pickles. When buying kimchi in the market, you should also buy kimchi produced by regular merchants and manufacturers.
2. Patients with gastrointestinal diseases should not eat pickles.
Kimchi is an acidic food, and the pickling process is also a fermentation process. Kimchi can help the human body secrete stomach acid, stimulate appetite and relieve boredom. If people with gastrointestinal diseases often eat pickled vegetables, it will increase the burden on the stomach and may cause ulcers and other problems. Such people are advised not to eat pickles.
