Sweet and sour fruit

Overview

Winter diet should follow the principle of less pungent and more sour. The weather is cold and the indoors are dry, so the family is craving for this side dish. It has a crisp texture, sweet and sour taste, appetizing, clears away heat and relieves internal heat, and is more delicious than big fish or meat. Friends who like it must try it. It doesn’t make you tired of having it on the table three times a day. My family makes a pot every two days and eats it all in one day. It’s addictive.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Prepare the ingredients: Peel and wash the white radish, peel and wash the carrots, soak the cucumbers in light salt water for more than 10 minutes, then wash them again with flour, and wash them repeatedly to minimize pesticide residues.

   

2. 2 Cut carrots, cucumbers and radish into hob pieces according to your preference.

   

3. 3 Peel and wash the lotus root, slice it into slices, blanch it in water (you can boil it for a few more minutes), remove it from the cold water, drain it and set aside.

   

4. 4 Prepare 150g of sugar and 250g of water.

   

5. 5 Add 250g of water to the pot and bring to a boil, add sugar and bay leaves and simmer.

   

6. 6 Cook until the sugar melts, turn off the heat when you smell the aroma, let it cool, add white vinegar (do not put it in early, otherwise it will evaporate when heated and lose its sour taste), mix thoroughly to make a sweet and sour marinade, and put it into a container.

   

7. 7 Add an appropriate amount of water to the pot and bring to a boil. Put the carrots, cucumbers and white radish into the boiling water pot and blanch them, then take them out immediately.

   

8. 8 Soak in a container filled with sweet and sour marinade. After cooling, refrigerate and marinate for 1 day before eating.
