It's halfway through autumn, and now it's time for radishes to go on the market in large quantities. At this time of year, my family will pickle radishes and pickles, which are crisp and delicious. I'll teach you today!
Today's delicious food: sweet and sour pickled radish strips
Required materials: 5 kg of white radish, 50g of salt, 5 petals of carrot 1 kg, 2 slices of ginger, 500ml of white vinegar, 300g of sugar, 350ml of cold boiled water, and appropriate amount of lemon juice.
Cooking process:
Step 1
Prepare raw materials, white radish and carrot, wash the white radish and carrot with clear water, and then peel them with peeler respectively;
Second step
Peel white radish and carrot, then rinse with water.
Third step
Cut carrots and radishes into small strips with a knife. The size and thickness of the strip depends on your own needs, but if it is cut too big, the curing time should be appropriately extended. Or master it yourself!
Fourth step
Put all the sliced radish strips into a large pot, and then add 50g salt into the pot. Don't put too little salt, because if you put too little salt, the preservation time of radish strips will be shortened.
Step five
After adding salt, stir the radish strips and salt evenly by hand, so that the salt can be evenly wrapped on the radish strips, and the salt and radish strips can be mixed more evenly, which will shorten our production process.
Step 6
Stir well, set aside and marinate the radish strips for two hours. This process is to marinate water in radish.
Step 7
After marinating the radish strips for two hours, we can see that there will be a lot of water in the basin where the radish strips are marinated, and then we will take out the radish strips with a colander and put them in another basin, but don't pour out the pickled radish water yet! We will be useful in the future!
Step 8
Clean ginger and garlic, then slice garlic and ginger.
Step 9
Prepare a clean empty basin, put 500g of white sugar into the basin, and then add a bottle (500ml) of white vinegar into the basin;
Step 10
After mixing well, add the boiling water we prepared in advance and mix well.
Step 1 1
Stir well, add ginger and garlic, then stir and season the water!
Step 12
Then at this time, the salted radish water just pickled from radish strips is used! Then pour the radish water into the seasoning water just prepared and stir it evenly;
Step 13
Then take out our secret weapon-lemon juice. I have lemon juice for baking. You can use fresh lemons! Lemon can eliminate the astringency and spicy taste of some radishes!
Step 14
The seasoning for pickled radish is ready, and then we pour the radish into the prepared seasoning juice, and then we can officially start pickling!
Step 15
Gently stir the radish strips with a colander to make each radish strip evenly stained with seasoning water;
Step 16
Prepare a clean glass jar without water or oil. Here, Bian Xiao doesn't recommend curing in plastic cans, because plastic cans are bad for your health, and then pour our radish and seasoning water into this jar.
Step 17
After pouring, cover the glass jar and put it in a cool place. Marinated for 5 to 7 days, basically tasty. During pickling, you can turn over the radish strips to make the radish strips on them fully tasty, so that our sweet and sour pickled radish strips will be pickled!
Cooking tip: Try not to marinate in plastic cans. Plastic cans are not good for your health.
