Ingredients: leek, salt, baking soda, white vinegar, pepper, fragrant leaves, garlic and ginger.
Methods and steps
1, first of all, we have to go to the market to buy a proper amount of leeks. When we buy them home, we must first select them, pick out the yellow or rotten parts of leeks and throw them away. Although this process is troublesome, it must not be omitted, otherwise it will easily affect the pickling of leeks.
2. After picking the leek, we should prepare a large basin of clean water, then add a spoonful of salt to the clean water, and then add a spoonful of baking soda, and stir it to dissolve by hand.
Then we will put the leek in clear water, soak it in clear water for 10 minutes, and then carefully wash it by hand. Salt has a good bactericidal effect, while baking soda has a good decontamination effect. If these two ingredients are combined with clean water to clean leeks, they can be cleaned very cleanly.
3. When cleaning leeks, it is best to clean them one by one, because there will be some sediment left between the leaves of leeks, so be sure to check them carefully when cleaning. After cleaning the leek, we have to wash it twice with clear water.
Finally, we should prepare a bigger basket, then put the washed leeks in the basket and spread them out, and then put them in a ventilated place to dry the surface moisture. If you have a fan at home, you can put the leek directly into the fan to blow it to speed up the drying.
4. During the drying time of leeks, we should prepare an iron pot, and add 500 ml of water and 250 ml of white vinegar to the pot. Finally, add 5 fragrant leaves and a handful of pepper, cover it and bring it to a boil, then turn off the fire and let it cool for later use.
Then we need to prepare a proper amount of garlic, slice garlic for later use, prepare some ginger slices for later use, and finally prepare a few millet peppers. After the surface moisture of leek is completely dried, we should align the leek, cut the root of leek with a knife, and then cut it into sections for later use.
5, prepare a clean bottle, the bottle should be water-free and oil-free, then add the chopped leek into the bottle and press it slightly by hand. Then put ginger slices, garlic slices and millet spicy into the bottle, add two spoonfuls of salt, and pour the cooled juice into the bottle so that the juice does not pass through the leek itself.
