Critical Success Points

  • Boiling the pickling brine and pouring it hot over the vegetables ensures proper preservation.
  • Blanching bean sprouts only briefly and shocking in ice water preserves crunch.
  • Using an ice bath for scallions mellows their bite and prevents onion breath.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the boiling brine with care to avoid burns.
  • Use a stable cutting board and keep fingers away from the knife blade.
