Da tou cai is the root of root mustard (Brassica juncea) pickled in salt. It is called a high-salt fermented food, and some Sichuan da tou cai is fermented for 6 to 10 years.
A short entry: the sources we found record only what is said here about Da tou cai itself. Its own sources do not record how it is made, so the steps and scenes below are those of Zha cai, the closest documented vegetables ferment, shown as a guide to the method, not as a record of Da tou cai.
