Recipe 🍳

  3. In a pot, combine soy sauce, sugar, and water to taste, and bring to a boil once to make the sauce. (Do not boil the vinegar together.)
  4. Place the drained cabbage in an airtight container and top with finely chopped Cheongyang peppers.
  5. First, pour 1/2 cup of raw vinegar evenly over the cabbage.
  6. Pour the hot boiled soy sauce mixture over the cabbage, close the lid, and let it ferment in the refrigerator for about 3 days.

  2. Mix soy sauce, sugar, and water, and bring to a boil.
  3. Place cabbage and Cheongyang peppers in a container, then pour in vinegar and the boiled soy sauce mixture.

Cooking tips 💡

  • If you boil the vinegar with the soy sauce, its unique sour taste and aroma will dissipate, so the secret is to add it separately at the end.
  • Right after completion, the sauce may look sparse, but due to osmotic pressure, the cabbage will release juice and become juicy.
