Ingredients
Directions
- Cut cabbage in half, and then in quarters.
- Slice out the core.
- Slice thinly as possible
- Weigh on scale, then multiply the total weight of cabbage by .02 to determine the salt needed.
- Bruise cabbage so it releases a lot of liquid. This is about a 2-5 minute process.
- When transferring into a tight container, include the liquid. Firmly press down so that the liquid covers the top of the product.
- Cover with crumpled plastic wrap with a weight inside.
- Use airlock to let air out. If not, burp daily. Do not screw way too tight or it will explode.
- Check product after 2 weeks.
- Reserve in fridge, and use as needed.
