Rub toon sprouts

Wash the Chinese toon buds and scoop them out, then lay them in a cool place to dry (do not expose to direct sunlight, otherwise the buds will lose moisture and become soft and blackened).

Place the dried Toona sprouts in a clean, dry, and oil-free small bowl, and do not put too many at once. Sprinkle with fine salt, and the amount of fine salt should be relatively generous.

Gently rub the petiole part of the toon sprouts.

Rub until the toon shoots change color and the petioles become soft.

Gently knead the prepared toon sprouts one by one and place them in the prepared lidded container.

Place the container with toon sprouts in a cool place and let it sit for a week before taking it out to eat. The kneaded toon sprouts can be put in a jar or sealed in a food bag and frozen to be eaten in winter.

Pork bone soup, hand-rolled noodles, Chinese toon sprouts, hmm, sometimes happiness is just this simple.
