How to make pickled bamboo shoots

The lettuce we usually eat is also called green bamboo shoots, but it has different names in different places. Simply put, it is the root of lettuce, the most tender part after peeling off the skin. Green bamboo shoots are relatively common in the south, because there are more lettuces grown in the south. Green bamboo shoots are loved by many people as a home-cooked dish. There are many ways to use it, among which pickling is a common one. The following is a complete recipe for pickled green bamboo shoots:

     1. Salting method. Take the lettuce grown in June and remove the skin and old tendons. Use 1800 grams of salt for every 10 kilograms of clean lettuce. When initially processing, place the lettuces in order in a jar, sprinkle them in layers with 800 grams of salt, turn them over twice a day, stir the soup to dissipate the heat, so that the salt grains melt, and be careful to avoid breaking the lettuce. From the third day on, use 1000 grams of salt to marinate in layers again, turning the food over every two days. After turning it over five times, press it tightly with stones and seal it in the jar for storage. It will take a total of 20 days to become a light yellow, crisp and tender food.

2. Pickling method. Gently pick up the pickled lettuce embryos and put them down to prevent the lettuce from breaking. When pickling in sauce, for every 10 kg of lettuce embryos, add 5 kg of thin sweet noodle sauce, 2 g of saccharin and 12 g of sodium benzoate, mix them together to form a mixture, and then pickle in sauce for 1-3 days to get a reddish-brown, sweet, crisp and fragrant finished product.

3. Fresh lettuce can also be seasoned with salt, sugar, rice wine juice, cooking wine, dried chili peppers and spices, add appropriate amount of cold boiled water, mix well, put into a jar and seal it. It can be eaten after soaking, and it also has a unique flavor.
