Ingredients for pickled lettuce

When you pickle lettuce at home, you can prepare two kilograms of fresh lettuce, an appropriate amount of light soy sauce, and an appropriate amount of salt, white sugar, and dark soy sauce.

Specific steps for pickling lettuce

1. Remove the leaves and skin of the prepared lettuce, then wash it with clean water. After removing the water, cut it into segments, and then cut it into long strips for later use.

2. Put the cut lettuce strips in a container, add appropriate amount of table salt and mix well before marinating. You can put a layer of plastic wrap on the top of the lettuce strips, and then press some heavy objects on it, so that the moisture in the lettuce can be quickly discharged.

3. Marinate the lettuce strips for about 24 hours, then take them out and discard the water. Place the marinated lettuce strips in the sun for one to two days.

4. Put an appropriate amount of white sugar into the pot, then pour in light soy sauce and dark soy sauce, then add an appropriate amount of table salt, and finally add a small amount of water, heat to a boil, simmer for a while, turn off the heat and cool down.

5. After the cooked sauce cools down, put the processed lettuce strips into it and marinate. Generally, it will be ready in about three to five days.
