Hello everyone, I am Xiao Qiu, and it is time to pickle cucumbers, the current cucumber is a piece of five one pounds, I bought 30 pounds, this year's cucumber is a bit expensive, in previous years this time only a few cents a pound. Today I came to pickle a little cucumber to eat, you can make more at a time, put it in the refrigerator to freeze up, when you want to eat it, take it out and mix it, which is particularly convenient.
After washing the cucumber, cut it into small pieces and remove the cucumber with a blade, because my cucumber is particularly thick and the seeds are rich in water, so don't cut it off, if you use a cucumber, you don't have to go to the cucumber.
A total of 3 large pots cut out, cut out the cucumber do not throw, put some coriander and shallot sauce a mixture is particularly delicious, but this has to be eaten fresh mixed, can not be stored for too long.
Add the right amount of salt to the cut cucumber, kill out the water inside, mix well and kill for 2-3 hours.
Look at the water that killed so much.
Then put all the cucumbers in a sand bag, press a heavy object for a night, press out the excess water inside, and dry the cucumbers, this step is particularly important, do this pickled cucumber if the water is large, it is not delicious, the taste is not crisp and not chewy.
30 pounds of cucumber pressure is left so much, I do not have a big stone, pressed with a basin, the effect is worse, so the pressure time is slightly longer, has been pressed for a day and a night, cucumber pressed to this extent can be.
The pressed cucumber can be directly mixed and eaten, and it is no problem to put it for half a month, but it is best not to mix too much at a time, or the taste of the fresh mix is better, and there is no need to put too much salt. If you want to store it for a longer time, you need to put a little more salt, and if the cucumber is too light, it is easy to spoil. Because I do more, once can not finish eating, you can use the plastic bag to pack up a part, divided into multiple portions, according to their usual amount, how much can be eaten at a time, how much each bag is packed, so that when eating is particularly convenient, and then put in the refrigerator to freeze up, when you want to eat, take it out and mix it fresh.
The rest of these I will give it a mixture, cut a little ginger slices and garlic slices in it, cut a little green and red pepper, add a little less MSG seasoning, the right amount of sugar to freshen, a poinsettia of fresh soy sauce, aged vinegar, a little sesame oil, and finally add a little chili oil to mix well.
The cucumbers in this way are spicy and crisp, especially delicious, and it is no problem to put them in the refrigerator and freeze them for a year.
