Pickled water chestnuts served

Pickled Water Chestnuts

Pickled water chestnuts are a unique and refreshing addition, inspired by Asian cuisine. The crisp texture and slightly sweet taste of water chestnuts perfectly harmonize with the vinegary pickling, making them an excellent addition to salads, pasta, and meat dishes. This recipe balances the acidity of the vinegar with the sweetness of honey, creating a truly exciting flavor experience. If you want to make it even more special, add a little ginger or chili flakes for extra spiciness!

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Thoroughly wash the fresh water chestnuts, then peel and slice them thinly.

    2

    In a small saucepan, combine the white wine vinegar, water, honey, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the honey and salt are completely dissolved.

    3

    Peel the garlic clove and cut it in half. Gently crush the whole black peppercorns with the flat side of a knife to release their flavor.

    4

    In a clean, sealable jar, layer the water chestnut slices, then add the garlic and crushed peppercorns.

    5

    Pour the hot pickling liquid over the water chestnuts, then gently press down with a spoon to ensure they are completely submerged in the brine.

    6

    Let the jar cool to room temperature for about 30 minutes, then seal and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.

    7

    Serve the pickled water chestnuts with salads, pasta dishes, or as a side to meat dishes. They will keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks.
