Equipment

  • airtight jar
  • glass weight

Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg white cabbage [2lbs]
  • 10 gr salt [0.35 oz]

Instructions
 

  • Clean the cabbage and cut it to very thin slices.
  • Place the cabbage in a bowl and add the salt to it.
  • Mix and wait around 10 minutes.
  • Squeeze the cabbage in the bowl - it will exude a lot of water. Don't let the water spill - you will need them.
  • After squeezing the cabbage thoroughly - exuding as much water as possible - move the cabbage to the jar.
  • Spill the water on top of the cabbage. If the water do not cover the cabbage - add more.
  • Place a weight to prevent the cabbage from surfacing.
  • Wait between 1 to 2 weeks, depending on room temperature.
