Just like when making stir-fries, the cold skin is the kind you buy already cut into thin strips, so you don’t need to cut it again.

The ingredients require garlic sprouts (also called green garlic in Beijing), vinegar, and seasoning water (use 5 star anise, 5 peppercorns, 2 pepper wedges, 2 bay leaves, a small piece of cinnamon, two small spoons of soy sauce and a bowl of water, bring to a boil.

Let cool and set aside), salt.
