How to prevent pickles from sprouting
Thread Content
A very important thing to keep in mind is to never come into contact with oil, at any time. 1. Wash your pickling jars and the vegetables you plan to pickle, then dry them. 2. Let the hot water needed to cook the pickles cool down. 3. Soak the garlic, fresh Sichuan pepper, star anise, and bay leaves in wine first to enhance their aroma. 4. Add an appropriate amount of salt to the cooled water and put it in the jar. 5. Put the dried pickles into the jar. 6. Pour the garlic that has just been soaked, fresh Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, bay leaves, and alcohol into the jar. 7. Cover it and seal with water.

Use special chopsticks to pick up the pickles ； When it’s time to stir the pot, be sure to wash your hands first ； It’s best not to use the jar that was used to submerge duck eggs for making pickles ； It’s wilted; pour in some white liquor. Tips and experiences for making Sichuan pickles: The water used for preparing the fermentation jars is best obtained by asking neighbors; it’s difficult to prepare it on one’s own if you lack experience ； Add an appropriate amount of maltose (called \"ma sugar\" in Sichuan and \"dingding sugar\" in Yunnan) ； Keep special salt and liquor on hand; the liquor doesn’t need to be high-quality – a strong grain-based liquor is suitable. Adjust the water in the jar according to the taste of the pickles ； When choosing a jar, the smoke-sealing method can be used; it is best to opt for a ceramic pot jar that has been fired ； It’s best to add a little of each type of vegetable; remember to take them out and eat them promptly, as leaving them there for too long can damage the jar, especially with pickled carrots ； For a lazy person like me, it’s better not to make it myself; when I want fish with pickled vegetables, I ask my neighbors for it or buy it at the market.
