How to pickle cucumbers

Cucumbers are the most common dish in spring and summer, but when they are on the market in large quantities, people's love for them will decrease a lot. However, this is a good opportunity to pickle cucumbers. You can buy some cucumbers when they are on the market in large quantities and pickle them. Pickled cucumbers can be eaten at any time of the year. As for how to pickle cucumbers, the method is also very simple. Let me tell you and you will learn it.

How to pickle cucumbers

1. Before pickling cucumbers, you need to prepare ten pounds of cucumbers, one pound of salt and two peppercorns, as well as one thousand five hundred grams of soy sauce, seven hundred grams of white wine and seven hundred grams of white sugar, four hundred grams each of ginger and garlic, two hundred grams of MSG and one hundred grams of white vinegar.

2. Wash the cucumber and pepper with clean water, then cut off the tail of the cucumber and cut it in the middle to make it into two parts. Next, use a knife to cut the two parts in the middle twice to make it into four strips.

3. After cutting the cucumber, you can place it in a larger bowl, then remove the stems of the peppercorns and place them on top of the cucumbers.

4. After doing all of the above, you can sprinkle some salt on the cucumber and mix it evenly with your hands. After two or three hours, water will flow out. Then pour out the water.

5. After draining the water from the cucumbers, take a heavy object and press it on the cucumbers. If you have a stone, it would be best. If not, you can use other objects instead. Marinate for about three days under the pressure of the stone, and turn it over several times in the middle to let the cucumber strips that cannot be pressed go under the stone, which is conducive to the removal of moisture from the cucumbers.

6. Remove the pickled cucumbers and drain the water, then put them into a clean bowl and add all the seasonings, then mix them well. After pickling for 24 hours, you can take them out and eat them. Pay attention to hygiene when eating, so that the pickled cucumbers can be stored for a long time without deterioration.
