How to make Pickled brassica juncea?
Buy brassica junceas, cut into 3-4cm pieces, wash away dirt. Spread the brassica junceas into a tray with a hole or a large basket, bring to the sun, and dry for soft brassica junceas. If you do not have a basket or a tray, you can use a normal tray and place 3 layers of newspaper on the tray before spreading the brassica junceas.
Put warm water in a tub or pot. Add salt + sugar. Stir in all the spices. Tasting the water with a light flavor is okay (at this step if you want to get sour more quickly, you can add more vinegar).
Put brassica junceas into a jar, then pour the stirred water together. Put a few bamboo sticks on the brassica junceas and press them down so that they are completely submerged. Cover the jar or wrap the pot with plastic wrap. Soak for 3-4 days (depending on the weather, if it is hot, the cabbage will be sourẻ than it is cold).
