pickled leeks
Pickled leeks are a home-cooked pickles in southern Anhui. Although they are not elegant, they are an indispensable home-cooked dish for ordinary people. I have eaten this since I was a child! When I was a child, when there were no vegetables at home, my mother always cut a handful of leeks and marinated them at night, and poured some cooked sesame oil in the morning to eat them! A frequent customer who brings food to school! Marinated leeks have a stronger aroma than fresh leeks. Whether it is served with rice or porridge, it is delicious!

    1. Be sure to drain the leeks when you wash them. I have been drying them for a long time. Hehe, when I grabbed the salt later, there was no water coming out. If there is a time when water comes out during marinating, throw away the marinating water! 2. The amount of leeks should not be too much, it is best to eat them for 2-3 days. 3. When catching, you should catch the leeks and change their color. Your hometown is called catching ripe.
