How to make traditional pickled cabbage in my hometown

Many people neglect their diet because they are too busy at work and just deal with it casually. In fact, we don’t need to spend too much energy to prepare a delicious dinner for ourselves, as long as we make the right choice. The method of making traditional sauerkraut in our hometown does not take too much time and can be completed in just a few simple steps.

1. Wash the radish leaves and hemp leaves (I washed the vegetables for the whole afternoon, about 20 kilograms.)

2. Cut the vegetables. Try to cut them into smaller pieces. When they are done, you can just scoop them out and mix them with cold dishes!

3. Find a stone with a flat and smooth surface, wash it and set it aside!

4. After all the vegetables are cut, boil a large pot of water and pour in the cut vegetables after the water boils! (It’s OK to fill the pot at once. I cook in five pots.) Cover the pot and turn it over after five minutes. Take it out in five minutes!

5. (After all the dishes are cooked, boil a pot of clean water for later use.)

6. (The water jar at my house is from a long time ago. This kind of jar is the best for making sauerkraut. The jar must be washed and dried!) Put the cooked hot food into the jar. (If you like sour radishes, you can put a few washed white radishes at the bottom of the jar.) I only make less than half a jar after cooking five pots. My mother-in-law used to make a full jar, which could be eaten until the following spring.

7. Press a big stone on the vegetable to ensure good fermentation!

8. After pressing on the big stone, pour in a pot of boiled water, cover it with a lid and start fermenting (mine is a wooden lid), and it will be fermented in about three days! It can be eaten cold, stir-fried, or made into yellow vegetable and egg noodles, all of which are delicious!

The traditional method of making pickled cabbage from my hometown is a dish that can be completed in a short time. It is quick and easy to make and is definitely a favorite for those with clumsy hands. Take action now and enjoy the taste pleasure brought by simple deliciousness.
