Today we are making Chinese pickles. These tart, crunchy bites show up all over China. We use them as noodle toppings; They can be appetizer or side dish in fancy restaurants. Some street food uses it as a flavor enhancer. There are many Chinese recipes that require Chinese pickles. Although there are people that don’t like pickles, I think they are delicious, inexpensive and good for you. The recipe is actually quite simple and basic but it is also easy to fail because of some small details if you are not careful. There are lots of tips and tricks that I would like to share. And I am also gonna talk about the science behind the process which will allow you to understand more and succeed on this.
Homemade Chinese Sausage Cantonese Lap Cheong Recipe: • Homemade Cantonese Sau...
Buy the spice grinder that I use in the video: geni.us/rscgYZH
INGREDIENTS
- 5 kg of water = 5 liter = 5.26qt = 20.5 cups
- 380 grams of salt [It is better to use pickling salt: geni.us/NVnjDT6]
- 100 grams of sugar
- 3 grams of star anise
- 5 pieces of bay leaves
- 5 grams of cinnamon
- 10 grams of Sichuan peppercorn[Amazon Link: geni.us/Gw7LP]
- 5 kg of the vegetable mix (Celery, cabbage, carrot, Chinese Turnip radish, long beans, chilies, )
Note: The measurement I gave above is very salty. When you make the first batch of pickles, you always want to make it saltier to inhibit bad fungus from growing. Once you got the first batch good, you will have some healthy bacterias in your jar. Then you can use that as a mother to make more pickles and adjust the saltiness.
Here, I want to talk about the traditional Chinese pickle jar. It is a fat ceramic container with a shoulder around the neck. And has a bowl upside down to cover the jar. This is the best thing to make Chinese pickle. It no transparent so the light will not go through, which allows the healthy fermentation to keep going. You can fill up the shoulder part with water and it will seal the jar completely. Also, it can automatically release the air during the pickling process. With this, you will have a higher chance to be successful. I could not find this thing in Ecuador. I do want to bring one from China but it is too heavy and delicate. They have it on Amazon. Here is the link if you want to buy it: geni.us/1nadD8

Thank you so much for such a clear, learned explanation of the Chinese pickling process. My parents taught me how to pickle and preserve vegetables, but to be honest, I never cared for them overmuch as they were bland. But I had a life-changing pickle experience in college. My roommate was from China, and her parents would bring jars of homemade Chinese pickles whenever they visited, and I fell in love with their spicy, crunchy, salty-sweet goodness. I haven’t been brave enough to make them - until now. I’m so happy I found your channel. Your passion and enthusiasm are infectious. Thank you so much.

hey Mandy! In Latin American countries, there are artisan factories that make clay pots for cooking. Perhaps you can ask around, go to the markets, and inquire for ""cazuelas de barro", ¿quién las fabrica? I am sure you can have someone make your pickling jars for you. We like to cook in clay pots in Mexico, Central America, and I am sure in South America too. It´s just a matter of having pictures, dimensions, for you to have your pots made to your requirements and the cost shouldn´t be that high either!

I just put about 5 lbs of cucumbers into this. Only alteration was grape leaves instead of bay leaf for the tannin and I added garlic into the brine before straining. I was lucky and found a shop that sells Chinese pickle jars for under $25 each, so I bought 2. I made pickled Jerusalem artichokes in this one first. It turned out amazing. We use some in a potato salad and it was fabulous, so crunchy. The second jar has a Scoby in it to make kombucha. I need to go get a couple more jars for more veggies. I’m loving how easy these jars make it to pickle. It almost like the veggies and jars know what to do and do it.

That was a whole lot of great information about making pickles. With respect to checking how well your jars will seal I would offer this suggestion. Fill the jar about one quarter with boiling water, put on the lid and shake the jar. The boiling water will heat the air in the jar creating pressure. Then when you turn the jar upside down to look for leaks the contents will be pressurized and leaks will be easier to spot. I hope this is helpful 😁

Hey! Great video. I make a lot of ferments, and a lot of pickles, but have never added spices to my salt brine before. I will try this recipe. Thank you! Fyi, the white stuff on the top of your jar is Kahm yeast. Its harmless. It can make the flavour a little bitter, but it is not bad for you. Even in the second shot where there was a lot of it, it is ok. The easiest way to skim it off is to blot it with a paper towel. It is ambient, and probably just crept in thru the tiny crack btwn the seal on the jar. Anyway, like i said, it is harmless. However, it is NOT ok to have anything round, or fuzzy, furry, green, grey, yellow, or any fungus or mold that grows in circles, like a typical mold bloom. When you find that stuff, you have to toss all the brine, all the pickles, sterilize and start again.

EDIT: Okay there's some fermentation magic that happens after two or so weeks and the 5% saltiness mellows out. The pickles are really great. If you try it, that's the percent I would go with. Okay so I tried this recipe and thought I'd share my experience in case anyone else wants to try it: First, these end up being *very* salty. Honestly, too salty for my taste, even after rinsing the pickles. Most pickling brines will use 2~3.5% salt, and these double that. I did a version with 7% and then a version with 5% salt where I used a combo of fish and soy sauce in addition to sea salt. She does this because, as mentioned, these are intended to stay out of the fridge and be added to occasionally. What I would do next time is drop the salt content, ferment them for 2 weeks, then pop them in the fridge when they're as sour as you like. They will continue to sour but slowly, and there is no risk of spoilage. The other thing is that she adds a little alcohol on the top to prevent spoilage. If you don't want to do this, you can just add a pebble or small jar to keep the vegetables submerged. Any sort of weight. In fact, I would do this anyways whether you drop the salt content or not. If the vegetables are under brine, they cannot spoil. "Keep it under the brine, and all will be fine". Last comment: the spice mixture gives these pickles an incredible flavor. Really, you should try them. I also suggest substituting soy and/or fish sauce for 0.3-1% of the salt to give a really complex umami flavor. But lower the salt content, especially if you don't think you're going to be using the brine for months and months, and absolutely keep them submerged.

I wanted to share my correspondence with Mandy because it might help more people : Q I forgot to add vinegar in my recipe, what should I do? A In your case, you can wait for another week and see if there are any fungus growing. If not, that means you are good to go. Q So the alcohol works as a preserve? Or a fungus inhibitor? By the way I just looked again today, at the top the brine is very clear, but towards the bottom it is a little cloudy and some sediment at the bottom of the jar... is this okay or not? A That is normal, don't worry. The alcohol works as a fungus inhibitor! As long as you can make sure all the tools you use is clean, your pickles should be fine. By the way, the recipe for the pickle is a lot saltier than our normal taste. That is to ensure a higher chance of success. If you want it to be less salty, you can adjust the sodium amount when you add more vegetables to the jar (I usually just don't add salt or add less salt when I use the same brine to pickle the second batch of vegetables). Once you are happy with the flavor, you can keep it at the sodium level. Q Thank you so much! I am so sorry I still have more questions: 1) could I still add a spoon of vodka to them NOW to inhibit future fungus growth? 2) replacing vegetables in the brine - do they need to wait for 20 days? Do I need to 'burp' them every two days? can I just fish out the older vegetables while the new ones pickle? Should I add vodka to brine when I add new veg? A I am glad I can help. If there is not any visible fungus, it is better not to add alcohol to it anymore. I will say, the second batch of veggies probably will be ready in 12-15 days. The third batch will be around 8-10 days. After the third batch, your brine will turn into an "old brine", which has a balanced amount of good bacterias. Every time you add new vegetables, it will be ready in 8-10 days.

This is perhaps the best pickling video on KZbin. I've researched the process for many years and she knows what she's talking about. I've confined my efforts to mostly cucumbers (a "pickle"), but almost anything can be pickled. The one point I disagree with is calling cucumbers in vinegar a "pickle". It is not. It is a faux pickle, a fake pickle, an attempt to mimic the taste of something that has been pickled, meaning fermented. I think she was trying to be kind and unoffensive to us in the West. Everything else she said is accurate and she has a solid and extensive knowledge of the process, including the safety concerns. This video has inspired me to extend my pickling to other veggies. Thanks, Mandy!

@@Shaun.Stephens That is correct. When certain foods are placed in a brine (salt solution, usually in the 3 to 8 percent range) "bad" bacteria are killed or prevented from growing and "good" bacteria grow. There are several types of these good bacteria, the most important one is Lactobacillus. This is a type of probiotic and is necessary for humans to digest their food and occurs naturally in out intestines. It is this bacteria that causes the fermentation process to occur. It feeds on the sugars occurring in the food you are pickling and its presence makes it impossible for the bad bacteria to grow, hence making the food safe to eat without refrigeration for a long time. The presence of vinegar actually kills the Lactobacillus, preventing fermentation from occurring. Fermentation causes the food to have a sour taste and that is one of the reasons people have used vinegar to approximate the flavor. Fermenting foods has been around for a very long time, thousands of years, in fact. To us moderns, particularly in the U.S., it's cheaper and quicker to produce the imitation than the real thing, and for our grandmothers, who had both refrigeration and canning, there was no necessity. I hope this video has inspired you to try pickling for yourself. As I said in my first comment, it is an excellent tutorial for anyone wanting to try their hand at it.

@@michaeltellurian825 Hi Michael. Great explanation, thanks. However as I understand it there are two types of 'pickling' processes which can be differentiated by the terms 'fermented pickles' and 'vinegar pickles' (or simply 'pickles'). One isn't really an imitation of the other. This is the way it is understood in the UK and here in New Zealand. Both methods have been around for millennia. Acetobacter is very hard to keep out of alcoholic beverages (fruit flies being the main vector) so for as long as humans have left non-salty wet stuff (especially sweet stuff) around to ferment there has been both alcohol then vinegar. (The very term 'vinegar' is derived from old French for 'sour wine'.) To the best of my knowledge all pickled onions available for sale in the UK and here in NZ are pickled in vinegar, as are 'gherkins'. Vinegar pickling long pre-dates refrigeration as there has been a ready supply of vinegar for sale in the UK and Europe for many centuries and vinegar pickling is both safer than fermented pickling and is usually simpler. However I don't disagree that properly fermented pickles are likely better for health than vinegar pickles as, as you pointed out they include Lactobacillus which *can* be useful for anyone with a compromised gut microbiota. (Though very few living organisms in 'probiotics' survive the trip through the very acidic stomach to make a home in the gut - medically it's been proven better to introduce then via the other gut opening. )

​@@Shaun.Stephens Our disagreement is that you claim storing food in vinegar causes fermentation to occur. I claim that it does not, that fermentation is a different biological and chemical process, and in fact vinegar prevents the fermentation process from taking place. And since you introduced the etymology of the word "vinegar", I'll offer the same for "pickle": The word “pickle” comes from the Dutch "pekel" or northern German "pókel", meaning “salt” or “brine”. The title of this video contains the word "pickle" It is a tutorial about pickling various vegetables in the Chinese tradition. I'm wondering why you're still arguing about these very basic concepts? If you read the ingredients label on a jar of gherkins in your supermarket and it contains vinegar, then it was not fermented. It used the canning process to preserve the cucumbers and used vinegar to mimic the naturally occurring sour flavor of fermented cucumbers. I urge you and anyone else reading this discussion to do your own research. Many colleges and universities have agricultural extensions that will provide through their websites all available information on the fermentation of food.

@@michaeltellurian825 You have a comprehension crisis. I have never claimed nor do I believe that vegetables stored in vinegar ferment. I'm not stupid, I worked for years in a field controlling bacterial and fungal fermentation. Re-read the above without prejudice and you will see that. I'm aware of the etymology of the word 'pickle' (I donate to Wikipedia annually and also have been an editor for years so that *everyone* can learn things). The etymology of the word doesn't have anything to do with fermentation and in fact often salt or brine is used to *prevent* that very thing. Being a food snob and gatekeeping a term that has for centuries had (and still has globally) more than one meaning is pretentious. The whole world doesn't speak American English (though sadly a lot of non-native English speakers aren't aware of the difference and learn their "English" from Americans).

Such a great video. Practical, informative, and best of all: you let us know the optional/variation choices we can choose from. I particularly appreciate your advice around the sugar and salt and vinegar, adjusting to taste. I love a tart (vinegary) pickle, but I have a friend that I'm *sure* I could get to like pickles, if I just make them a bit sweeter for her. I will enjoy playing around with your recommendations to get some pickles we all enjoy! Thank you so much! :D

One Chinese restaurant in NJ always gave you a small plate of these along with fried noodles while you looked over the menu. Totally yummy! I made this in College (I went to a culinary school) and I can recall carving the carrots into flowers.

If I lived in Ecuador, I think we would be cooking buddies!! I can't wait to try your recipe! I make a Korean style of pickle with onions, jalapenos, chayote, and garlic - it's soy sauce based. Thank you for showing me a different way to pickle veggies. You are very informative and you make the cooking experience so much FUN! Sending you kindness and laughter from Ontario, Canada!!
