Ya cai - 芽菜

[ipsedixit]

@robert

Ya cai is fermented. The kind of sourness I’m talking about is a fermentation product, not a seasoning. I pickle a lot of things (not cucumbers) and they’re always more sour than ya cai.

Did you not read what I said?

The seasoning is different. Yes, both are fermented, but 芽菜 is seasoned after fermentation. Pickles are not.
