I never dreamed that putting bitter gourd in aged vinegar and soaking it for two days would have such a powerful effect and solve many people's big troubles.

Bitter gourd is a very common ingredient in our daily life, its nutritional value is extremely high, especially when the weather is hot, eating a little more bitter gourd has a lot of benefits for the human body.

First of all, we prepare a bitter gourd, then the common bitter gourd on the market has a bitter gourd like my hand with a convex surface and a relatively large convex, and there is a bitter gourd that is particularly small and particularly thin and narrow, the bitter gourd is more bitter, and this bitter gourd tastes lighter, and the juice is more, so when you prepare the bitter gourd, it is recommended to prepare such a bitter gourd.

Then add a little water to it, that to ensure that whoever can completely wet the bitter gourd, then sprinkle a little salt, sprinkle a little flour on the surface of the bitter gourd, and then we scrub the bitter gourd like this with our hands.

Flour has good adsorption, we use it to clean bitter gourd, can be the surface of the bitter gourd in these folds of dirt and some dust, dust is well adsorbed out.

And add a little salt, you can give our bitter gourd a disinfection and sterilization effect in the process of washing, which is why many friends in life will use salt to clean some melons, fruits and vegetables, every place must be scrubbed, and then we use the water in the basin to wash the cracks on the surface of the bitter gourd, as well as salt residues, take a look, now the water is very dirty.

Then we use flowing water to clean the bitter gourd, like this, our bitter gourd has been completely cleaned, put an appropriate amount of paper towel on the table, and then put our bitter gourd on it, continue to spread another layer of paper towel on the surface of the bitter gourd, and then pinch it with your hand, use the adsorption of the paper towel to wash all the water on the surface of the bitter gourd as much as possible, so that the bitter gourd is conducive to preservation for a longer time.

So friends who are not in a hurry, we can also put the bitter gourd in a cool and ventilated place to completely dry the moisture on the surface, but we must pay attention to it, not to put it under the sun to expose it, which will lead to a large loss of nutrients and water in our bitter gourd.

Not only the taste is not good, the nutrition is gone, like this, our bitter gourd has been completely dried up, at this time we put the bitter gourd on the cutting board, with a kitchen knife to cut off the beginning and end of the bitter gourd, do not these two parts not only taste bad, but also have no edible value, and then divide the bitter gourd into two from the middle.

Find a spoon to remove the bitter gourd seeds and this white gourd, most of the bitter source of bitter gourd comes from this, many friends when cooking bitter gourd, the bitter gourd cooked is particularly bitter, it is because this layer of white film inside is not completely removed.

Therefore, when we remove the film of bitter gourd, we must pay attention to scraping the white film inside thoroughly, and try to scrape it clean, like this.

Then we cut the bitter gourd into slices, cut a little thicker, not too thin, too thin will not taste so good. After it is completely cut, it is this thickness level, and we can see that the thickness of the bitter gourd is about 3.0 cm, and it is just right like this.

After cutting the bitter gourd, we put it in a bowl, and the bowl must be waterless and oil-free.

After putting it all into the bowl like this, we can start pouring aged vinegar into it, so the vinegar in general life is divided into this, balsamic vinegar and aged vinegar, if you like the taste of a little sour, we can use aged vinegar, then we like to have a lower acidity, and if the fragrance is stronger, we can use balsamic vinegar, the difference is not much, but the taste is a little different.

The vinegar brewing should completely soak the bitter gourd, so for friends who are not very acceptable to the bitterness, we can also add a little of this crushed yellow rock sugar to it, which can synthesize the sour taste of the aged vinegar.

If there is no aged vinegar at home, we can also use white vinegar instead, the bitter gourd soaked in white vinegar will be more bright and green, and the bitter gourd soaked in aged vinegar will be darker and darker.

Then find a clean and dry spoon, stir gently, let the rock sugar, bitter gourd and aged vinegar fully soak together, after we add rock sugar, the sweetness in the rock sugar will synthesize part of the bitter taste of bitter gourd, so that the taste will be much better.

But friends who can't eat rock candy or can't eat sweets in their lives don't need to add it.

After stirring evenly, now we use the plastic wrap in the house, and then cover it on the bowl, and after covering the plastic wrap, we can isolate the bitter gourd from our air, which can also make the bitter gourd taste better, prevent dust from falling inside, keep it for two to three days, our bitter gourd will be soaked, and we can put it in the refrigerator to refrigerate.

Because the weather is getting hotter and hotter now, the temperature during the day is very high, generally it can reach 267 degrees, 278 degrees, quite hot, put it outside, it is particularly easy to break, so we can put it in the refrigerator and refrigerate it for two to three days.

Two days later, our coarse pickled bitter gourd was ready, and the coarse pickled bitter gourd that came out of this way tasted sweet, and there was a little bitter taste of bitter gourd, which was really magical, and it was simply a treat for friends who like to eat bitter gourd.

Although we say that we are rough and bitter, the practice of melon is very simple, but its role is not simple at all, when I was a child, my grandparents often ate like this, so there are many ways to eat it.

Like the first way to eat, we can add the soaked bitter gourd directly to the plate and eat it as an appetizer, especially in summer when the weather is hot and the appetite is not good, add such a plate of vinegar soaked bitter gourd, which is both appetizing and delicious, and it also clears the heat and relieves the heat, which is quite good.

In our Sichuan, especially when used to drink porridge, it is really good. So like this aged vinegar soaked in bitter gourd and rock sugar, we can use it to mix noodles or kimchi, in our Sichuan, we will use this vinegar sauce to mix kimchi, quite appetizing, much better than directly mixing with aged vinegar or balsamic vinegar.

Then our bitter gourd soaked in vinegar, in addition to these two ways to eat, we can also. Use it to soak in water, the method of soaking water is also very simple, you only need to boil the water to 5°, and then, we put a little bit of bitter gourd inside, put a few slices, and then put one or two spoonfuls of aged vinegar into it, and then brew it with boiling water, cover the plate, keep it for 0 minutes, put it after 0 minutes, do not burn the mouth, we can drink.

The method is really very simple, don't look at this vinegar soaked bitter gourd method is simple, but its use is not simple at all, after persisting for a period of time, you will reap unexpected surprises.
