Overview

The most famous thing in the Northeast is sauerkraut. Ever since I was a child, every autumn when Chinese cabbage comes down, my mother will buy autumn vegetables. They cost a few cents per pound. She will keep some when she goes home to make Chinese cabbage and some to make sauerkraut. She has lived on these throughout the winter. Other vegetables There are very few, only potatoes and the like. You can imagine how important sauerkraut plays in life in the Northeast. Thirty years later, my mother still pickles a jar every year. Chinese cabbage is also cheap, only a few cents a pound. In summer, you can use flat cabbage to make it, which is also good. Whenever there is a festival, you can only eat authentic pig-killing vegetables in the countryside, and sauerkraut and white meat are indispensable. I have only eaten it once, and it was in the company cafeteria when I first started working after graduating from college. The deliciousness is still unforgettable to this day. This dish is quite simple and easy to make. In fact, not only pork belly can be used, but sometimes my mother will use chicken legs or ribs. It does not have to be pork belly. You can cut some leaner ones and some fatter ones. The time must be longer, so that the sauerkraut can take away the greasiness of the fat. The sauerkraut has a meaty aroma, the meat has a sour aroma, and the soup is the most delicious. So if you haven’t eaten it before, you must eat it. Your grandma’s last name will be forgotten.
