Fun of making Sun Dried Vegetables - 晒菜干


After giving away tonnes of 雪里红(small Chinese Mustard) to my friends and neighbours, I still have so much of them in my garden.  So, I decided to give it a try to make them into sun dried vegetables. 

Procedure:
  1. Clean the vegetables thoroughly.
  2. Veggies after cleaning
  3. Blanch them in boiling water.
  4. Dry them under the sun.
  5. Veggies after drying for 2 days
  6. When they are ready (when the leaves are brittle), store them at dry area.

Tips:

  • Remember to collect them at night.
  • Pay attention to the weather forecast.  You need at least 4 consecutive fine days (that also depends on the location) to dry them.

According to weather forecast, my next attempt will have to be some time next week.
