Then we tie the bag so that there is a lot of air left in it (about 1/3 of the volume). Shake it well, rub it so that the ingredients are mixed, and the cucumbers let the juice go.
We put the package in a deep plate and place it on the middle shelf of the refrigerator for a day. During this time, we will shake the bag with vegetables several times so that the released juice is evenly distributed throughout the bag.
