Pickled sour long beans

Fresh green beans, wash them clean, pick out any with worm holes or that are bad, and place them in a cool spot on the balcony to dry off the moisture. This step is crucial, as having water makes them spoil easily during the pickling process.

After draining the water, cut into small sections or cubes, as you like, and chop a few cloves of garlic.

Take a glass bottle, it must be clean, free of oil and water, put the green beans and garlic inside, and add salt and sugar.

Cover with the lid, shake a few more times to help the salt and sugar dissolve faster, then store in a cool place for 5 days (5 days in summer, 7 days in winter).

Pickled green beans will turn yellow.
