Recipe 🍳
- Insert a knife into the core of two heads of baby napa cabbage (approx. 1-1.2kg) and twist to remove the core. Removing the core first makes it convenient to separate the leaves all at once without having to peel them one by one.
- Neatly stack the large outer leaves of the cabbage and cut them into bite-sized pieces diagonally.
- Neatly stack the smaller inner leaves and cut them lengthwise. 4. In a bowl large enough to hold the cabbage, add 2 cups (360ml) of water, 2 tablespoons of coarse salt, and 2 tablespoons of white sugar, and mix until the salt and sugar are dissolved in the water.
- Add the cut cabbage leaves, mix well with the water, and let it brine for a total of 2 hours. Mix the cabbage leaves every hour to ensure even brining.
- After brining for a total of 2 hours, rinse the cabbage leaves under cold water and squeeze out the excess water by hand.
