Generally, when I make my own kimchi, the best ratio of salt to water is 1:12.5, i.e., 80 grams of salt for every 1 kilogram of water.
Sichuan kimchi is a typical representative of Chinese kimchi, which is salty and sour in taste, crisp and tender in texture, bright in color and aroma, and can enhance appetite and help digestion, with a salt content of about 8 percent.
The specific method is as follows:
In fact, the method, to say the least, is very simple...
Raw materials: Chinese cabbage, cabbage, carrots, cowpea horns, garlic scapes
Seasoning: salt, pepper, millet pepper, tap water
Method:
1. Choose and clean all kinds of vegetables, cut them into small portions of suitable size and set aside.
2. Prepare a suitable size of the glass jar, I this is 2.3L, family use size is more appropriate, clean, spare.
3. Put the vegetables into the glass jar in turn, add salt, pepper, pepper, pour tap water to no vegetables, cover and seal, about a week or so can be.
Warm tips
1. Do not dip into the oil throughout.
2. Hard vegetables are more time-consuming, put them at the bottom of the jar, such as carrots; cabbage, cabbage and other leafy vegetables are easier to cook, put them on top. It's easier to pick them up this way.
3. Salt, I used the common salt used at home for stir-frying, and did not use the special pickle salt.
4. What I didn't expect is that hard white radish is not suitable for kimchi, pickled out very soft, very salty, not crunchy at all, not delicious.
5. You can also put a little celery, green chili.
Summary and reflections
Tried for about a month, soaked several sets, are so particularly tasty taste, not bad. Calm down the excitement, seriously do a little summary and comparison ......
1. Previously, I was using pure water or cool white water, vegetables are also washed and dried, I hope there is no any bacteria. However, kimchi is actually a probiotic fermentation process. This time I used tap water, so perhaps, the mistake was one of the reasons for the success.
2. In the past, I put green chili peppers in my kimchi, but this time I used millet peppers. Perhaps, the high spiciness of millet pepper has a certain insecticidal effect, this may also be one of the reasons.
Finally, I hope that my friends, the courage to try, are successful!
After all, the sour, spicy and numbing kimchi is just too good!
