The simplest method of pickling sour beans

Ingredients for pickled sour beans

When pickling sour beans, you should choose fresh and tender beans that are green, tender, crisp, uniform in size, and without worm holes. White varieties are not crisp enough and are not suitable for pickling sour beans. In addition, prepare an appropriate amount of boiling water, white vinegar or edible salt.

Steps to pickle sour beans

1. Prepare a larger, clean, water-free and oil-free glass bottle. You can sterilize it with hot water in advance, remove the water and set it aside. Wash the purchased long beans with clean water, remove the water and place them in the sun for 4 to 5 hours.

2. Put the prepared edible salt, white vinegar and boiled water together and mix well for consumption. Dissolve the salt and get brine for later use. Put the dried beans into a glass bottle and press it firmly. Finally, pour the prepared brine into a small bottle, making sure the brine covers the beans inside. Then seal the bottle.

3. Place the sealed bottle in a cool place and marinate for about ten days. The sour beans inside will be fermented. When you want to eat them, you can use clean, water-free and oil-free chopsticks to take out an appropriate amount, cut into small cubes, put them on a plate, add sesame oil to season and then eat.

4. When pickling sour beans, be sure to avoid getting the beans and the container wet or oily. Also, make sure to seal the container tightly to prevent air leakage, otherwise the sour beans will easily deteriorate during the pickling process.
