Ingredients for Sweet and Sour Pickled Chili For 2 jars
Green chili 400 gr Garlic 2 bulbs (100gr) Vinegar 300 ml Sugar 1.5 tablespoons Salt 6 teaspoons
How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose fresh green chili
- Choose chili fruits that are straight or slightly curved, with shiny skin and green stems.
- It is best to choose smaller green chilies as they are more fragrant, spicy but not hot and pungent like other types of chili.
- Avoid buying damaged or rotten chilies or those with dark spots on the skin.
How to choose fresh garlic
- Choose garlic bulbs that have intact outer skins and a slightly white color.
- Good garlic will have plump cloves that are not too dry, wrinkled, or wilted.
- Avoid buying garlic bulbs that are gray or yellow as these will not be fragrant when cooked.
How to prepare Sweet and Sour Pickled Peppers

Prepare green chili peppers
Prepare a bowl of cold water. Add 3 tablespoons of salt and stir well until the salt is completely dissolved.
Remove the stems from the green chili peppers, place them in the prepared saltwater bowl, and soak for about 10 minutes.
Next, take the peppers out, rinse them thoroughly with water once more, and let them drain. After that, sun-dry the peppers in the shade for about 15 minutes.
Tip: To prevent water from soaking in and making the peppers lose their crunchiness, be careful when removing the stems to avoid damaging the flesh of the peppers!

Prepare the garlic

Add 1/2 tablespoon of sugar into it and stir until the sugar dissolves completely. Then, add the sliced garlic and soak for 30 minutes.
