STEP 1/12
Prepare half a cabbage. Remove one or two outer leaves.
STEP 2/12
Cut it into 0.5cm thick pieces. It's long, so I cut it in the middle.
STEP 3/12
Prepare 2g of flower salt.
STEP 4/12
Add cabbage and salt one by one.
STEP 5/12
Then wear plastic gloves and rub the cabbage. Don't rub it, but rub it so that the fiber is soft. Then there will be some water, so don't throw it away with this water and put it all in the zipper bag.
STEP 6/12
Zipper bags are better because the top of the bottle doesn't pickle well. Add cabbage, cabbage water, remove air from the zipper bag, and zip it.
STEP 7/12
Press down with a heavy stone. If there are no stones, press them with a heavy cutting board or plate. If the cabbage is not wet, add 2 percent more saline.
STEP 8/12
It is fermented at room temperature to avoid direct sunlight for 1 to 3 days in summer and 3-6 days in winter. Cabbage changes from green to yellow or light brown.
STEP 9/12
It becomes murky white and bubbles come out. The bubbles are fermented. You have to taste it and taste it sour.
STEP 10/12
It's normal when water comes out.
STEP 11/12
Store it in a zipper bag or put it in a sterilized bottle. Close the lid and store it in the refrigerator. The less air, the better. It's better to cover it with plastic wrap.
