One of the favs of amount moon!!
Some hold back frontward to pork trotters vinegar. Some hold back frontward to turmeric rice amongst curry chicken. Some hold back frontward to pickled immature ginger. But most hold back frontward to pickled papaya.
I approximate pickled papaya is a local amount Moon fare. I don't shout out upwards inward Cathay this is served. Do papayas grow there? I don't know, simply it's similar anywhere and everywhere here (besides inward the concrete jungle of course). Throw to a greater extent than or less seeds onto the pose down together with few months later, you lot tin sack choice papayas off the tree. They're i of the cheapest fruits around.
*After reading responses on this post, I'm suspecting this is a northern practise. As my readers from KL together with the South has never seen this for Full Moon celebrations.
When I was a kid, pickled papaya were sold inward sundry shops. Cut inward long slanting pieces, kept inward large drinking glass jars sold for entirely 5sen per while (1984 price). My grandaunt volition sometimes purchase me a while together with I'd dearest to convey this to a greater extent than than candy if she always goes to the sundry shop. Nowadays, those large jounce pickled papaya create non gustation equally yummy equally before. Taste to a greater extent than similar salted papaya than pickled papaya.
Making this is all well-nigh timing. Not the training timing, simply the picking to processing timing.
To instruct a prissy firm reddish papaya, skills are needed. Visual skills. Touching skills. Intuition. All these are needed inward gild to choice a prissy theater papaya. The papaya should non convey greenish flesh (some is ok, simply non all green), simply flesh that is turning red. The fruit should even hence hold out rattling very theater together with crunchy. Slightly soft papaya is 100% disastrous for pickling. The papaya should hold out processed equally shortly equally possible after existence picked. It is best to non leave of absence it for to a greater extent than than 48 hours at room temperature. If non processed within 12 hours after picking, piece of occupation out along the fruit inward the refrigerator to forbid it from ripening.
During Lyanne's amount moon, to a greater extent than or less i picked a huge papaya for us, simply left it at a friend's overnight. When nosotros in conclusion got it, nosotros processed it immediately. The fruit was even hence theater when nosotros sliced it, simply after pickling, it turned soft. Luckily nosotros had to a greater extent than or less other batch which was made from the freshest papaya, together with it was super crunchy. So, purchase or choice your papayas entirely when you lot intend to pickle it. Do non instruct your fruit too early.
The procedure is almost the same equally pickling immature ginger, together with at that topographic point are minor differences.

In the pictures, you lot saw ii papayas. But inward the end, entirely i papaya is used equally the redder i is too ripe to hold out used. Although a chip too theater to hold out eaten, it is too soft to hold out pickled. If the papaya tin sack hold out dented amongst a finger (with pressure, press!!!!!!!) together with hence the papaya is too soft. It may non hold back soft now, simply after pickling, you lot volition regret it. If you're non certain well-nigh your papaya, it's best to split the pickles according to fruit. Just inward representative i fruit turns soft after pickling, it won't spoil the whole batch. It's yucky to consume soft pickled papayas. Sometimes, carmine papayas(red flesh, greenish skin) do non hateful that they are too ripe to hold out used. Test the within of the papaya(near the seeds) with the pressure level test. Some papayas may hold back red, simply are even hence theater together with crunchy.
