Production steps:

Step 1: harvest the vegetables and leave them in the field for a day or two until they are damaged.

Step 2: clean the vegetables.

Step 3: hang the cleaned sauerkraut for two to three days to control the moisture.

Step 4: cut the dried cabbage into 1 cm pieces.

Step 5: put the cut cabbage into the salt and rub it repeatedly to make the salt fully integrate into the cabbage. (in the picture, a large pot is cut and half a packet of salt is put in)

Step 6: use an empty oil pot at home, which can be used to put the kneaded vegetables inside. The mouth of the oil pot is too small to put, so use chopsticks to help.

Step 7: pack a part of it by pressing it into the oil pot with a thin stick.

Step 8: pack a pot with plastic film, seal the lid, and place it in a well ventilated place. You can open it for 20 minutes.

Materials required:

Xuelihong: moderate amount

Salt: right amount

Note: 1. The specific days of airing should be determined according to the weather. The best way is to touch the snow by hand. The vegetables are very dry with a little crumbs. At this time, you don't have to worry about drying too dry. There will be a lot of water after salting. 2. Don't cut the sauerkraut too much. If it's too much, it's hard to wash it when you eat it. It's a waste. It's about one centimeter. 3. Most of them are filled in cans, but now many families generally don't have them. Using oil pots saves money and can also make use of waste products. The most important thing is that it has a small mouth and is not easy to deteriorate. 4. Many people don't wash their pickles before pickling, but I still advocate washing them before pickling. When they eat them, they can directly take them out to eat authentic sour taste. If they are afraid of sour taste, they can wash them again or twice. If you don't wash before pickling, there will be a lot of silt and impurities in the vegetables, which will affect the taste.
