Ingredients 食材
- 1500 g cabbage 高麗菜
- 100 g shreded carrots 紅蘿蔔絲
- some chili pepper 辣椒圈
- 2 Tbsp salt 鹽
- Sweet and sour sauce 糖醋汁:
- 120 g rock sugar or regular sugar 冰糖/二砂糖
- 150 g vinegar 醋 (糯米醋、白醋、蘋果醋、高粱醋)
Instructions 作法
- Boil the sweet and sour sauce in advance until the sugar melts, then let it cool and set aside.
- 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.
- 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.
- 事先將糖醋汁煮至糖融化，放涼備用。
- 高麗菜一片片剝下，洗乾淨瀝乾水分，再剝成小片。再加入鹽拌勻(殺青軟化)，靜置約2-3小時，過程中再稍微翻動高麗菜使其均勻軟化。同時紅蘿蔔絲也加入鹽殺青軟化。
- 鹽漬好的高麗菜用冷開水沖去多餘鹽分，再擠乾多餘的水分，準備一個乾淨的容器或保鮮盒(無水、無油)，將高麗菜、紅蘿蔔絲、辣椒圈分別放入，最後再倒入冷卻的糖醋汁，醃製冷藏半天即可食用。隔天吃會更入味更好吃。
Notes/Tips 小撇步
- You can replace it with different vegetables, such as white radish, cucumber. 可以用不同的蔬菜來替換，例如白蘿蔔、小黃瓜
- You can put a few sour plums in the sweet and sour sauce. 糖醋汁中可以放幾顆酸梅
- You can also add some peppercorns to sweet and sour sauce to enhance its flavor. 糖醋汁也可以加一些花椒增添風味
- The finished kimchi can also be changed into kimchi with different flavors by adding a little spicy bean paste. 完成的泡菜也可以加一點辣豆瓣醬變化成不同風味的泡菜
