Fungus with pickled pepper

1

Prepare a clean kimchi jar (it's best to use a kimchi jar. Because I don't have a kimchi jar, I switched to a sealed jar.) In addition, go to the vegetable market and buy about 500 grams of wild pepper with water specially used for kimchi, and place it in the kimchi jar for later use.

2

Grab a handful of dried fungus with your hands and place it in a basin.

3

Add warm water to the basin to soak the fungus, and the amount of water should be as much as possible, because the fungus will expand a lot after being soaked in water. If there is too little water, it will affect the soaking effect. (You can also soak your hair in cold water, but the soak time will be slightly longer.)

4

After the fungus is fully soaked, remove the stalk of the fungus, thoroughly wash it and remove it.

5

If you are still worried, you can take a clean basin, fill it with cold boiled water, and add a few teaspoons of salt. After the salt is completely dissolved in the water, put the washed fungus in the basin and soak it and sterilize for about 10 minutes.

6

Use clean chopsticks to sandwich the thoroughly washed fungus into the kimchi jar prepared in advance, and use the pickled pepper juice to cover the fungus. Then, cover the jar and place the kimchi jar quietly in a cool and dry place. After 24 hours, you can use clean chopsticks to remove the fungus, put it into a plate, and eat it directly. You can also add some of your favorite seasonings to mix with your food.

1. The pickled pepper water used in this dish is the same as the kimchi water commonly used in Sichuan kimchi. It can be used to soak other vegetables suitable for soaking, or it can be used repeatedly. However, note that before the next kimchi, add the appropriate amount of salt again. Then add the washed vegetables suitable for soaking and brew.
2. This pickled pepper water can also be used to soak chicken feet. However, special attention should be paid to this: Be sure to wash, cook, remove and cool the raw chicken feet before putting them in pickled pepper water and soak them for about 24 hours before they can be eaten. (Because chicken feet are meat dishes with oil and water, the pickled pepper water after soaking the chicken feet should not be stored for a long time. The pickled pepper water should be replaced in time. Before replacing, wash and dry the kimchi jar.)
