Ingredients: new garlic, sugar, rice vinegar, salt.

Tools: Pickle jars or glass bottles with lids, which must be scalded with boiling water in advance.

1. After buying new garlic, peel off some of the old skin on the outside, leaving one or two layers of inner skin; cut off the roots of the garlic and cut the stems shorter, leaving about 1-2 cm long.

2. Clean the garlic.

3. Dry the washed garlic. There should be no raw water during the drying process, otherwise it will be easy to spoil.

4. Prepare a clean pot. I pickled 4 pounds of garlic and added 6 pounds of water.

5. 0 + 50 grams of salt. The salt should be coarse salt, which will not go bad easily.

6. Add 400 grams of sugar.

7. Add 150 grams of vinegar.

8. Add 100g dark soy sauce.

9. Stir evenly and bring to a boil.

10. After boiling, let the soup cool for later use.

11. The pot for pickling garlic should also be washed and dried, and should not be stained with raw water.

12. Put the garlic into a garlic grinding pot. Note that the garlic should be fresh. Garlic that has been marinated for a long time will not taste good.

13. Pour in the cooled soup. The soup must exceed the garlic. It doesn’t matter if there is more soup.

14. Cover the plastic bag and seal the mouth tightly.

15. Put it in a cool place and marinate for 20 days to 1 months before eating.
