STEP 1/9
It's a pepper that I picked after cleaning up the garden. There are a lot of big and small peppers
STEP 2/9
I washed it clean in running water, removed the tip of the big pepper completely, and cut the tip of the soft and small pepper slightly with scissors. It removes the top of the pepper completely, so there's a hole in the top. So I didn't make a separate hole by skewing the peppers
STEP 3/9
Put 250 large and small peppers in a container.
STEP 4/9
I peeled 3 large onions and cut them into 4 pieces.
STEP 5/9
Put 8 cups of water in a pot, a handful of anchovies, and a 10cm kelp in running water and boil it. When it boils evenly, cover it and reduce the heat as much as possible for another 10 minutes. Remove all the ingredients and prepare water for anchovies and kelp.
STEP 6/9
Pour 6 cups of soy sauce, 6 cups of vinegar, 3 cups of sugar, anchovies, and 6 cups of boiled kelp into a pot and mix well and bring to a boil.
STEP 7/9
When the boiled soy sauce water cools down, pour it into the peppers and onions.
STEP 8/9
If you don't have a pressing stone, you can use a plate or put water in a plastic pack and tie it up. Cover the airtight container and wait for 3 to 4 days at cool room temperature, pour soy sauce into the pot, boil it again, cool it down, pour it again for 3 to 4 days, and put it in the refrigerator.
STEP 9/9
Boil soy sauce water one more time in the middle, cool it down, and pour it. It's a week old onion and chili pepper pickle.
