How to make cold shredded zucchini

1. Wash the dried red peppers, blanch them in hot water for half a minute, then remove and drain.

2. Wash the zucchini and shred it.

3. Mix organic soy sauce, aged vinegar, sugar, sesame oil and boiled water to make the sauce.

4. Cut the processed dried chilies into sections and place them in a heat-resistant container together with the Sichuan peppercorns.

Cooking tips 1. The soy sauce I use is organic original brewed soy sauce, which is fresher and the color is a little darker than ordinary light soy sauce. If not available, it is recommended to use umami soy sauce or special soy sauce for cold dishes. The vinegar is brewed by Xuansheng's aunt's family, which is relatively sour, so please increase or decrease the amount according to your own situation; 2. I bought the dried chili peppers directly from the supermarket, the variety is unknown, and the spiciness is moderate. If you can't eat spicy food, you can omit the chili oil, or put a little less chili oil in; 3. It is best to choose tender zucchini for the cold dish as it has the best taste.
