Steps for Sauce cucumber
1
Ten kilograms of cucumber, cut into the following shape.2
After cutting it, sprinkle 1 pound of salt (If you make a small amount, just reduce it according to this proportion. Don't worry about salty. The salt is put in to kill out the water in the cucumber. Most of the salt will follow the water flow.)3
Mix the salted cucumber well and squeeze out as much water as possible.4
Prepare ginger and garlic according to your own taste. I like spicy food, and I also prepared chili. Put it aside for use in the morning.5
Put three bags of soy sauce and half a pound of sugar into the pan. After the soy sauce is boiled and the sugar is melted, turn off the heat, find a container and pour into it to cool.6
The next day, at seven o'clock in the morning, the cucumber that had been washed out of water was killed. Add cucumber, ginger, garlic, pepper, and mix well.7
Add a little white wine (be sure to put it in, it tastes good) and MSG (you can leave it if you don't like it).8
Make a pot over the heat, put in the oil, add a little pepper after the oil is heated, wait until the oil temperature approaches room temperature, pour it on the cucumber that has just been soaked, and place it in a glass jar; you can try releasing the pepper and taste good! It tastes best after three days.
