Today, I will write down the pickling method in detail. If you like to eat sour cowpeas, you can learn to pickle delicious sour cowpeas at home.

Material

To pickle sour cowpeas at home, you should prepare fresh cowpeas and clean water, as well as appropriate amounts of green peppers, sugar and table salt. Finally, you need to prepare a jar for pickling vegetables. After the jar is prepared, wash it with hot water, disinfect it, then remove the bucket and drain it.

Marinating steps

1. When pickling sour cowpeas, you must choose tender beans, and they must not have worm eyes or diseases, and all their flavors must be removed. Prepare a clean basin, add an appropriate amount of edible salt, and then pour in boiling water to make salt water for later use.

2. Tie the prepared beans into small bundles with cotton thread, each of which is about the amount for one serving. Put the bundled beans into the cleaned sauerkraut jar one by one, stack them neatly, and press them hard.

3. Break the prepared green pepper into small pieces and put them in the sauerkraut jar. Then pour the prepared brine into the jar. Make sure the brine covers the beans in the jar. Put a chopstick on the top layer to press down the beans to prevent them from floating out of the water.

4. Cover the jar, then cover the large lid on the outside, pour clean water along the edge of the jar to seal it, and finally place the jar in a cool and ventilated place for marinating.

5. After 3 to 5 days, the beans in the jar will be fermented. When you open the jar, you will smell a strong sour aroma, and the beans will have turned dark green. At this time, the homemade sour beans are pickled and can be taken out and eaten.
