Achar, as some of us locals may know, derived from the Nonya method of preserving food for longevity to eat as sides together with main dishes. But as the saying goes - so good you can eat it on its own, we think this sweet, sour, and spicy (all at the same time!) recipe worked out very well for us!Full recipe: http://themeatmen.sg/acharThe mandatory ingredients are the key vegetables, but most of the work comes from the preparatory cutting, mixing, and blanching. Once youve got all this worked out, getting a really tasty achar treat becomes relatively easy! Last but not least is that youll need to be leaving the completed dish overnight for the taste to seep into the vegetables, so if youre planning to eat this, make it the day before and you wont regret it!Ingredients:Achar:2 cucumbers2 carrots cauliflower chinese cabbage6 long beans4 chillies1 tbsp saltBlanching:1 liter water500 ml white vinegar2 tbsp sugar1 tbsp saltChilli paste:120g shallots4 cloves garlic15g turmeric4 candlenuts1 stalk lemongrass100g fresh chillies50g dried chillies (soaked)20g belacan4 tbsp oilVinegar Mix:150ml white vinegar8 tbsp sugar1 tbsp saltSide:50g fried shallots250g ground peanuts40g toasted white sesame seedMore #SingaporeanFoods: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYOBHxuy1wS1fIBOKGVqs1gLA02OPBctw#AirFryer Recipes: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYOBHxuy1wS1J5n7V-oC3YatjrKDs8tuk#RiceCooker Recipes: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYOBHxuy1wS110Yo3EK8O-CC9MvvciF0qP.S.
