Cooking Steps

1. 

   Step1:Buy fresh garlic bolt. Wash it and cut it into about 2cm long. Then place it in the ventilated place for about five hours. Air dry it. The function of air drying is that the pickled garlic bolt is easy to taste. It has a longer shelf life and a crispy tast

   Step2:Put a proper amount of star anise and pepper into the vinegar. Heat until the vinegar boils. Put it in the jar overnight. Let the vinegar fully absorb the aroma of star anise and pepper. This step can be done in advance to save time

   Step3:Take out the star anise and Chinese prickly ash and discard them. Put in sugar and salt. The amount can be put and tasted at the same time. Adjust the amount added according to personal taste. The amount of vinegar must be submerged over the garlic bolt. Mix the vinegar juice. Put the garlic bolt into the jar and marinate it

   Step4:Garlic bolt pickled for two days. It's sweet and sour. People who like spicy food can put some chili powder and sprinkle it with hot oil. I prefer this kind of pure sweet and sour flavor
