What is the method of pickling salted onions

My family is used to making full use of the open space at home and growing some fruits and vegetables so that they can be eaten at any time. They are natural and healthy. But sometimes, we plant too much and cannot eat it all. After the season, the vegetables will easily go bad and become inedible, which is a huge waste. So we want to find a way to preserve them for a long time so we can eat them anytime. So what is the method for pickling scallions?

Materials

It’s autumn now, and it’s almost time for people to store cabbage and onions. When I was a child, cabbage and potatoes were the most abundant vegetables in winter. It’s a pity to throw away the green onion leaves, but how to eat them depends on everyone’s imagination.

Method: 1. Pick the green onion leaves, wash them and drain the water.

2. Cut into small pieces.

3. Add appropriate amount of salt.

4 If you like to eat celery, kohlrabi, coriander, carrots, etc., you can also pickle them together. It is recommended to add some coriander, which tastes good.

5 Let it sit for two or three hours and then put it in a box that is preferably airtight and can be stored in the refrigerator.

The green onion leaves turn emerald green after being pickled. Very appetizing

Note : You need to add more salt than usual when cooking. If it is too salty, the onion leaves will remain green. If it is too salty, the onion leaves will turn yellow.

It is not suitable to eat onions while taking Liuwei Dihuang Pills: Liuwei Dihuang Pills are a treasure in traditional Chinese medicine, and onions are an indispensable ingredient in people's daily life. Do you know what effect the combination of the two will produce? Onions and garlic are spicy and warm in nature. They can promote yang and blood circulation, expel parasites and detoxify, and induce sweating and relieve exterior symptoms. They have a good therapeutic effect on colds, wind-cold, headaches, yin-cold abdominal pain, internal obstruction caused by parasites, and dysentery. However, according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, this effect is exactly offset by the Rehmannia in Liuwei Dihuang Pills. Therefore, combining the two is a major mistake. It is not suitable to eat onions while taking Liuwei Dihuang Pills.
