Chinese Pickled Vegetables – Pickles & Fermented Side Dishes

What is pickle?

Pickling is, as it were, preserving or preserving vegetables or fruit. This is traditionally used as a preservative to make these products last longer. The vegetables or fruit are then preserved in various ingredients. Often, various herbs, vinegar, water, salt, honey or sugar are used for this. You then put these together with the vegetables or fruit in a glass jar that is filled to the brim. The jars are stored closed and the longer the vegetables or fruit remain in it, the more flavour it gives.

What do you use pickles for?

Pickles are delicious as a snack. For example, make a snack board with pickles and dip them in different herbs and dips, such as hummus, ricotta or pesto. Pickles can also be very tasty as a dish on their own or as an addition to other dishes. Think of meat dishes or dishes with rice. In any case, there are enough options with pickles.
