Northeast sauerkraut drowning method

Stained sauerkraut method: 1, buy the cabbage sun exposure for two or three days, ultraviolet sterilization, so that the surface of the old gang withered. Remove the old gang, rinse with water; 2, put the cabbage into the boiling water a little hot, hot time is not too long, with cool water over the cool or cool; 3, put the cool cabbage into the preservation box, injected with cool water, the top with a plate or something heavy to compact, cover the lid to seal; 4, placed in the room temperature for two or three days of fermentation, and then put into the refrigerator, you can take out every few days and put it into the room temperature for half a day, otherwise, refrigerator temperatures are too low is not easy to ferment and sour, twenty days later you can eat. (In the past, the northeast are winter stained sauerkraut, room temperature of about ten degrees is most suitable, room temperature is high, if the refrigerator can occasionally take out to speed up the fermentation)

Hints: 1, even in the northeast, there are a lot of people say that stained sauerkraut is not good, easy to rot. I think the stain is not good sauerkraut is mainly the method is not right, as long as the following points, there should be no problem: (1) cabbage to choose a good cabbage; (2) choose a good cabbage in the sun sterilization; (3) the production process to ensure that there is no oil; (4) do not put the salt fermentation effect is better. (Now many northeastern people stain sauerkraut like to put salt, but put salt will affect the effect of fermentation, cabbage is easy to blacken and become stinky) 2, in the past, northeastern stain sauerkraut are stained in a vat, and finally pressed on the top of the large stone, the purpose of the stone is to prevent the cabbage from drifting up to the outside, and another can be the cabbage compaction, to put more cabbage. Nowadays, families usually do not have this kind of vat, I will use the preservation box stains, with a plate on top of the cabbage pressure is not exposed to the outside, if the pressure of a plate is not enough, press more than a few it must not be exposed to the outside, exposed to the outside of the rot; 3, stained sauerkraut water can be used with ordinary cold water, it's very simple. 4, stained sauerkraut to seal, can prevent pollution and other stray bacteria fall into, affect the fermentation effect. In the past are covered with plastic film, I use the plastic box stains, sealing effect is better; 5, in the past stained sauerkraut are the whole stain, if their stains do not have such a large container and would like to stain some, you can cut the cabbage into two halves or four halves vertically, or break the cabbage leaves stain.
