Sour Pickled Green Mustard
Sour mustard is traditional pickled Chinese mustard, where pickling is used to preserve the mustard. For Thai and Lao versions, they are fermented in a rice brine. Fermentation and prickling are different. Fermentation involves encouraging yeast/ bacteria growth without the addition of acidic ingredients. Pickling involves preservation using acid like vinegar. SGDriedGoods carries the pickled sour mustard.
