How to pickle cucumber pickles

It's cucumber season again. Many people like to buy cucumbers to eat, right? The cucumbers we usually eat are just fried as side dishes. If you eat too much, they will gradually lose their taste. You can't think of what side dishes to buy when you buy them, right? Have you ever eaten pickled cucumbers? My family sells them now, but for some reason, I don't see pickled cucumbers for sale in my city. The ones I have are chopped, not pickled whole like my family. Now I will teach you how to pickle cucumbers.

How to pickle cucumber pickles

1. Wash the cucumbers. When washing, be sure to wash the cucumbers thoroughly to avoid residual pesticides, which will be harmful to human health. Then wash other auxiliary materials together for later use.

2. Cut off the head and tail of the cucumber, because sometimes the cucumbers at the two ends are bitter. If you accidentally put these two parts in, the pickled cucumbers may be bitter. Then cut the peppers or garlic you need and other auxiliary ingredients for later use.

3. After cutting the cucumbers, you should first put the cucumbers with water in the sun to dry them. Let the excess water dry out. Of course, if you want to eat them drier, dry them longer. If you want to eat them tenderer, dry them less. This depends on the taste you want to eat.

4. When you are drying, be sure not to waste time. You should start preparing some pepper water. Because when pickling, if we need a good taste, we also need to use pepper to enhance the flavor. At this time, put the pepper in cold water and then boil it on the stove. Note that you should use a low heat, not a high heat. Let the fragrance of the pepper slowly seep into the water.

5. Now you should start to salt the cucumber strips you have dried. When salting, we also said that if you like other flavors, you can also add other ingredients. For example, peanuts or peppers. Before salting, it is best to put the cucumber in the pepper water you just prepared. At this time, the aroma of the pepper water will enter the cucumber strips. And when you salt the cucumber, it will also allow the cucumber to absorb the salt more fully.

6. After everything is prepared, you can set aside. Set the pickled cucumber aside. After a while, your pickled cucumbers are ready to eat.
