To make sweet and sour garlic, you must first prepare the garlic. It is best to use new garlic that has just been launched. This kind of garlic generally does not taste very spicy and has a crisper texture. Note that when choosing a piece, you must choose one with a relatively complete appearance. If it is damaged, don't use it. Peel off some of the outer skin of the new garlic, leaving only the innermost layer of skin, and then cut off the roots of the garlic. Put some salt in cold boiled water, then soak the garlic in the salt water for about ten hours, changing the water once in the middle. However, the water you change in the middle must also be adjusted to salt water, and then soaked for more than ten hours, so that the bitter taste can be removed, and the taste will be more refreshing, and it will not be particularly spicy. Moreover, during the process of soaking in salt water, the salt flavor inside will also be absorbed, so that when the sweet and sour garlic is pickled, it will also be more flavorful.
After soaking, you can take out the garlic and control the water, then pour some rice vinegar, sugar and salt into a basin. Then just put the garlic in. Generally, it can be eaten after marinating for about half a month. If it is marinated for a longer time, it will be more flavorful. The marinating time still needs to be adjusted according to your own taste.
