Dishes
Northeast Pickled CucumbersNortheast Pickled Cucumbers are a traditional homemade preserved dish, primarily made with fresh small cucumbers or field cucumbers, accompanied by spices such as garlic, chili peppers, and Sichuan peppercorns. During preparation, the cucumbers are washed and air-dried, then placed in a clean container with the spices. A brine made from water, salt, and white vinegar or rice vinegar is poured in to fully submerge the ingredients. After sealing, the container is stored in a cool place or refrigerator for natural fermentation over several days to a week, until the cucumbers turn sour and crisp. The finished product has a yellowish-green color and a tangy, crunchy texture, commonly served as a side dish in Northeast China.
