How to choose fresh and delicious sour plums
- Sour plums are seasonal fruits. The best time to buy delicious sour plums is in January.
- When purchasing, choose sour plums that are medium-sized and still have a white powdery coating. Squeeze them gently; if they feel firm and not soft, they’ll taste better when soaked.
- Avoid buying sour plums that are too immature as they can be sour, while overly ripe plums may break apart and become mushy when mixed.
- You can find fresh sour plums at local markets, supermarkets, or on reputable e-commerce websites.
How to properly prepare sour plums
- The skin of sour plums is usually covered in a thick layer of powder. This powder can cause irritation and a sore throat when eaten.
- First, use a coarse cloth to wipe off the powder and then rinse several times with water.
- Additionally, you can use a small toothbrush to gently scrub off this powder.
How to store and the shelf life of the dish
- To keep the sour plums crispy, you should consume them on the same day and immediately after marinating (let them sit for 3 – 4 hours in a cool environment). Do not leave them at room temperature for too long as this will cause the plums to release water and become soft, making them less tasty.
- If you don’t use them all, you should place the sour plums in a jar or airtight plastic container, store them in the refrigerator, and consume them within about 2 days.
