Homemade sauerkraut, pickled vegetables and winter pickles

Overview

This dish is a must-have and refreshing meal for every household in our hometown in the winter. I always thought it would be very complicated to make. I have been working outside for many years, and it has been a long time since I tasted the delicious food from this hometown, especially when paired with white porridge, not to mention the sourness! One day I was being slandered, so I called my mom to ask for advice. After that, I was very successful every time I made it myself. Now I share it with my sisters. It is simple and easy to learn, and includes teaching and learning.

Ingredients

Steps

  1. Drying; 2 pounds of green vegetables. If the sun is strong, you can also split the green vegetables in half and dry them. When I dried them, the weather was sunny and cloudy for a few days, so I picked them into petals for easy drying;

  2. The weather was not very good, so I left it to dry on the balcony for three days. If the sun is strong, it usually takes two days, and it will be as wilted as the picture;

  3. After drying, lay it flat in a container. I used the inner pot of a rice cooker. If not, you can also use a bucket or a clay pot;

  7. The water level is higher than the greens. If you are not in a hurry to eat them, just leave them like this for about three or four days (anyway, you can stir-fry the greens when the leaves turn yellow);

  8. If you are in a hurry to eat, you can soak it in boiling water, as shown in the picture, cover it immediately and simmer until the water is cold, then remove the cover and let it sit for about two days.
