Pickled Mini Cucumbers
Salt-pressed mini cucumbers take on a chewy-crisp bite after a day under weight, then marinate with chili, ginger, and garlic for deeply savory snacking.
Instructions
- 1
Wash the cucumber and dry it (do not leave any water on it).
- 2
Cut the cucumber in half (if it is a large cucumber, you can cut it into thin strips).
- 3
After cutting, sprinkle salt on the cucumber and mix evenly (the ratio of cucumber to salt is 50 grams of salt for every 500 grams of cucumber).
- 4
Then place a heavy object on top of the cucumbers, turn them over in the middle, and let them marinate for about a day.
- 5
Prepare chili peppers, ginger, and garlic cloves.
- 6
Cut the chili peppers into sections, slice the ginger, and cut the garlic in half. (Note that they should also be dried before cutting)
- 7
Prepare soy sauce (150 grams for 500 grams of cucumber) and white sugar (50 grams for 500 grams of cucumber), put them into a pot and bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and let it cool after the sugar dissolves.
- 8
Put the cooled sauce soup into a large bowl.
- 9
Add cucumber, ginger, garlic, and chili to the sauce and mix well, then add a small amount of white wine and MSG.
- 10
Pour oil into the pan, heat it, then add a little Sichuan peppercorns to briefly flavor the pan, and turn off the heat.
- 11
After the oil cools slightly, pour it over the cucumbers, and you can eat them after marinating for a day.
