Prepare the sour vegetable
After purchasing the sour vegetable, remove the old stems and keep only the young parts, then rinse them several times in water to remove dirt. Prepare a basin of water, adding 1/2 cup of salt.
Tip: If you can break the sour vegetable with your hands and it doesn’t snap, that part is old; the young part will be very crunchy and easy to break.You put a pot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil. When the water boils, you briefly blanch the vegetable. When the vegetable starts to darken in color, you take it out and immediately put it into a bowl of saltwater. Use a weight to keep the vegetable submerged in the water.
Soak the vegetable in saltwater for about 8 hours (or overnight). After soaking, you take the vegetable out and let it drain in a colander.
