In the northeastern region of China, there are many delicious and affordable vegetables that are loved by the locals. Here are the 4 favorite vegetables of Northeasterners, let's see if you've all tasted them:
1. Chinese cabbage: Chinese cabbage is one of the main vegetables in the Northeast in winter, which is cheap and sweet, and can be used to make kimchi, stews, etc.
Vegetable name: Bubble cabbage
1. Two Chinese cabbages, do not need to be washed, remove the outer leaves, and cut into 6-8 parts.
2. The amount of salt added (non-iodine) salt is about 2% of the weight of cabbage, which can be added or subtracted as appropriate. (Picture 3 is the salt I use, bought in a Korean supermarket)
3. Spread the salt evenly on the cabbage for pickling (it is best to press a stone or other weighty thing on it), after half a day, the cabbage will soften and produce a lot of water.
4. Then put the cabbage and the soaked water into the container together, be sure to press firmly, the salt water is not enough, add some cold boiled water, let the vegetables be immersed in the salt water, and cover the lid.
5. Put it at room temperature (20-23 degrees), marinate for about 10-14 days, and then you can eat.
If you are not in a hurry, marinate for 20 days and then eat, if you can't finish eating, you can continue to put it in salted water, and it will continue to become sour!
Precautions: 1. Do not use iodized salt, otherwise the dish will turn black. 2. Cabbage generally does not need to be scalded with boiling water before pickling, which will scald the lactic acid bacteria and affect fermentation. 3. Don't leave too much space in the container, and the water should be basically filled, otherwise there will be oxygen, and white film will be produced after pickling
