《English》

Ingredients

  • 1500 g cabbage
  • 100 g shreded carrots
  • some chili pepper
  • 2 Tbsp salt
  • Sweet and sour sauce:
    • 120 g rock sugar or regular sugar
    • 150 g vinegar

Instructions

  1. Boil the sweet and sour sauce in advance until the sugar melts, then let it cool and set aside.
  2. Pull apart the cabbage leaves one by one, wash and drain, then break into small pieces. Add salt and mix well (to soften the cabbage), let it sit for about 2-3 hours, turning the cabbage slightly during the process to soften it evenly. At the same time, add salt to the shredded carrots to soften them.
  3. Rinse the salted cabbage with cold boiled water to remove excess salt, then squeeze out excess water, prepare a clean container or box (water-free, oil-free), put the cabbage, shredded carrots, and chili in the container. Then, pour in the cooled sweet and sour sauce. Marinate and refrigerate for half a day before eating. It will taste better if you eat it the next day.
