STEP 1/11
The cucumber dish I'm going to make today is not a pickle for cutting and dipping cucumbers, but a whole cucumber pickle. Increase the overall proportion when the amount increases.
STEP 2/11
When cooking cucumbers, soak 3 tablespoons of vinegar in cold water for 5-10 minutes and rinse it two or three times in running water. Drain and remove the top. There's a difference between having a cucumber top and not having one, right?
STEP 3/11
Remember the ratio of 2 cups of water, 1 cup of vinegar, 1 cup of sugar, etc. is 2:1:1. Prepare 1 tablespoon of flower salt and 1 tablespoon of pickling spice. Pickling Spice contains various spices such as pepper, cloves, and bay leaves, and is a spice used to make pickles. It has to go in to have a deep flavor, so the unique taste of pickles is better.
STEP 4/11
Add two cups of water, one cup of sugar, one tablespoon of flower salt, and pickling spice.
STEP 5/11
Stir with a whisk and bring to a boil so that the sugar dissolves well. When it boils hard, boil for about 3 minutes and add 1 cup of vinegar. When it boils, turn off the heat. If you boil vinegar for too long, the smell of vinegar disappears.
STEP 6/11
Boil water in an electric pot and pour it into a glass bottle to disinfect the bottle. It's a simple disinfection instead of hot water disinfection. Dry it until it is dry.
STEP 7/11
Put the cucumber in a glass bottle.
STEP 8/11
Pour in the hot sauce as it is.
STEP 9/11
The cucumber color is still blue.
STEP 10/11
The color of the blue cucumber turns yellow after an hour or two. Leave it at room temperature for about a day and put it in the refrigerator.
STEP 11/11
Mini cucumber pickle is done.
If you dip it in a whole, it tastes more crunchy. It's easy to put it in as an ingredient for a long sandwich. You can cut it and serve it with pasta or pizza. It goes well with fried rice.
