At a glance
Red sour soup is a sour, spicy paste of small tomatoes and red chillies fermented by lactic bacteria and yeasts for one to twelve months. In the split method tomato and chilli are soured apart, then blended and fermented again; it is diluted as a base for fish and hot-pot soups. Made in 4 steps over 4.9 months. The longest step, blend and ferment again, takes 3.9 months (Zhou X. et al. 2022). Salt is 3 % (Zhou X. et al. 2022). Lentilactobacillus and Lactobacillus and Lactiplantibacillus, Levilactobacillus and Leuconostoc do most of the fermenting.
Guizhou's other sour soup, white sour soup, is made without tomato and chilli. Red sour soup is made from tomato and chilli, and the split method sours each apart before blending them for a second fermentation.
Split-fermented red sour soupTomato and chilli fermented apart, then blended and fermented again.
Mixed-fermented red sour soupTomatoes and chillies (5:1) fermented together, anaerobically, at room temperature for 6 months.
Rice-acid red sour soupTomatoes, chillies and rice sour soup mixed 5:1:1 and fermented for 6 months.
Kaili heritage methodWashed and chopped tomatoes and chillies go into a jar with other ingredients, sealed for 5 to 6 months, then are ground to a slurry and fermented half a month more.
Safety
Nine traditional products had nitrite well below the 20 mg/kg limit that China's standard GB 2762-2022 sets for fermented vegetables. Fusarium taking over a batch marked spoilage in one study.
In 2021 the Kaili sour-soup fish making skill joined China's national intangible cultural heritage list (fifth batch). Its record says Miao people of southeast Guizhou have passed the skill down through generations, and that local people used sour soup in place of salt.
