Ingredients

  • 1 lb sized head Chinese Cabbage
  • 2 tablespoons Sea Salt
  • 4 cups cold water
  • 1 tablespoon fresh garlic, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Green Onions, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons dried Chili Pepper flakes
  • 2 teaspoons sugar

Directions

1

Separate and wash the cabbage leaves.

2

Sprinkle them with the 2 tbsp of salt.

3

Place them in a non corrosive dish (Pyrex) and pour in the 4 cups cold water, cover with plastic wrap and place in fridge over night.

4

The water should cover the leaves if not place a heavy object on them to keep them submerged.

5

After sitting overnight pour off the water and rinse the leaves well, shake out excess moisture. ( I used my lettuce dryer to remove the extra moisture).

6

Mix the garlic, ginger, green onion,chili flakes,sugar & 1 tbsp salt, stir together.

7

Pour 11/2 cups of very hot water over the mixed seasoning.

8

Place cabbage leaves in a large zip lock bag or in a bowl, pour in the seasoning, mix well so the seasoning is on every leaf.

9

Place in the fridge for two days. Flip the bag every time you open the fridge door.

10

To serve cut the leaves into 2" strips and serve as a side condiment.

11

To store pack the cabbage into a jar and store in the fridge it will keep for several days to a week or more.
