Kristang Fermentation & Preservation
Ten entries
Kristang preservation rests on three distinct mechanisms — salt, acid, and fermentation — each carrying its own microbial logic and pantry role. The mortar and pestle conditions the spice pastes that drive many of these preparations. From the dense lactic cultures of cincalok and tempoyak to the short acid cures of achar and prawn pickle, the section moves from living ferments through dried and salted staples to the infused fats and pickled condiments that complete the Kristang table.
