Discover the art of Xiangxi pickling in a hands-on workshop in Zhangjiajie. Explore a local market, learn traditional techniques, and create your own batch of pickles to take home.
Meet your guide at the Qifeng Fresh Food Market Main Entrance, next to Zhongbai Plaza in downtown Zhangjiajie. Begin your culinary journey with an English-speaking guide.
Explore the vibrant Qifeng Fresh Food Market, which spans 16,000 square meters. Shop for pickling vegetables like radish, cabbage, bamboo shoots, lotus root, and cucumber. Discover Xiangxi pickling essentials like chili powder, Sichuan peppercorns, and mountain pepper oil (optional). Interact with local vendors and enjoy a small seasonal fruit snack.
Walk to a nearby teaching kitchen, just minutes from the market. Enjoy a welcome cup of local tea. Under the guidance of a skilled instructor, learn how to prepare vegetables by cutting, salting, and removing water for optimal crunch. Make brine with the perfect balance of water, salt, sugar, and vinegar (quick-pickle method). Blend spices to create Xiangxi-style chili oil with local spices. Learn the basics of lacto-fermentation, the science behind traditional paocai.
Prepare your own jar of Xiangxi mixed pickles to take home. Sample a variety of prepared Xiangxi pickles, including sour radish, spicy cabbage, and sweet-sour lotus root. Enjoy your pickles with a glass of local rice wine or a soft drink. Take home your handmade jar of paocai plus recipe cards.
