How to Make Delicious Sweet Potato Stem Pickles in Just 3 Days Without Boiling
Sweet potato stems, a delicacy perfect for early autumn,
have been pickled in just three days to ensure they last a long time. So, when you have plenty of sweet potato stems, try making them as a side dish. They're incredibly delicious.
⑴ Sweet Potato Stem Pickle Recipe: A Perfect Side Dish
① Preparing Sweet Potato Stems
First, when pickling sweet potato stems, it's best to remove the leaves before making the pickle. So, we prepared 2 kg of sweet potato stems.
You need to peel the sweet potato stems first. However, if you just peel the stems, they'll be difficult to peel.
To easily peel the stems, soak them in water and sea salt for 20 minutes. This will make them easier to peel. Therefore, we recommend seasoning them with salt to make the peeling easier.
After 20 minutes of salting, peel them. They'll come off very easily.
Salt Peeling and seasoning the sweet potato stems is also beneficial because they don't require separate pickling.
Although sweet potato stems are often used to make kimchi, pickling them can be enjoyed for a long time. So, if you have a lot of them, try making them into pickled vegetables.
I highly recommend it.
Wash the peeled stems thoroughly. Next, since they're too long to just pickle, cut them into bite-sized pieces.
When cutting the stems, cut them into bite-sized pieces.
② Preparing Vegetables to Pickle with the Stems
Cutting the vegetables and pickling them together enhances the flavor. Pickling them with the stems enhances the flavor. The broth will be more fragrant and the pickled vegetables will also be more flavorful.

Chop the onions and add them for a sweet and savory flavor.

Then, when the fermentation is complete, you can eat them together.
Chop the vegetables and prepare them like this.
