Description

This simple and addictive pickled cabbage recipe only requires 5 minutes of prep. And they’re ready to eat in an hour!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 200g napa cabbage leaves, chopped bite size
  • 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt

Instructions

  1. Place the chopped cabbage in a bowl and sprinkle salt on top.
  2. Massage the leaves while tossing them so they are evenly covered with salt.
  3. Transfer the cabbage and salt to a pickle maker, and close the lid, twisting until the leaves are tightly together. Refrigerate and pickled for 1 to 3 hours.
  4. If you do not have a pickle maker, place the cabbage and salt in a plastic bag, remove as much air from the bag as you can, and seal. Refrigerate and pickle for 1 to 3 hours.
  5. Drain the excess water and serve. If you find the cabbage too salty, place the leaves in a strainer and rinse with a little water. Drain well and serve.

Notes

Storing pickled cabbage: Put the pickles in a jar or airtight storage container and refrigerate for up to 10 days.
