When making Laba garlic, we should choose rice vinegar. Let’s talk about the reasons in detail below.
1. Considering the appearance
The prepared Laba garlic should be emerald green, which looks beautiful and can stimulate appetite. Therefore, when we choose vinegar, we should first consider which vinegar to choose, which will not affect the appearance of Laba garlic itself.
The color of mature vinegar is relatively dark, which can easily affect the emerald green color of Laba garlic itself. If soaked for too long, Laba garlic can easily turn black. The color of rice vinegar is relatively light. During the brewing process, it will not have too much impact on the color of Laba garlic, but will keep the color as bright and attractive as before.
From the appearance point of view, soaking Laba garlic in rice vinegar will help maintain the original color of Laba garlic, which is better than soaking it in mature vinegar.
2. Considering the smell
During the production process of aged vinegar, distiller’s yeast is first added for alcoholic fermentation, and then it goes through the brewing process of drying in the summer and scooping ice in the winter. Therefore, the vinegar smell Relatively mellow. If you use vinegar to soak Laba garlic, the Laba garlic produced will have a strong vinegar smell, which many friends will not be used to.
The smell of rice vinegar is relatively soft and not too strong. The smell of Laba garlic soaked in rice vinegar neutralizes the smell of garlic and vinegar just enough, and there will not be an overly strong vinegar smell. It's not something you're used to smelling.
Considering the smell, soaking Laba garlic in rice vinegar will have a milder smell, which is more suitable than soaking it in mature vinegar.
3. Considering the taste
We know that vinegar itself provides sourness. If we compare the taste of mature vinegar and rice vinegar, the taste of mature vinegar will be more sour and the taste will be worse. It is richer, and the taste of rice vinegar is sweet and sour, which is relatively refreshing.
If you use vinegar to soak Laba garlic, the soaked garlic will have a strong smell of vinegar, which is likely to cover up the original flavor of the garlic. When soaking Laba garlic in rice vinegar, the soaked garlic can not only maintain its own taste, but also bring out its original flavor better under the action of rice vinegar.
Considering the taste, soaking Laba garlic in rice vinegar will not cover up the original flavor of garlic, so it is more suitable than soaking it in mature vinegar.
Conclusion
When making Laba garlic, if conditions permit, try to use rice vinegar as the raw material. It is more suitable than using mature vinegar, because rice vinegar itself has a lighter color and smell. It's not too strong and has a softer taste. Laba garlic soaked in rice vinegar is easier to form an emerald green color, the smell is not too strong, and the taste is just right
