Preparation 1, first of all, the cabbage to do the first grooming, the outermost layer of the cabbage leaves have been dry removed, in the faucet with running water will be rinsed the whole tree to be used. Rinse and drain the whole cabbage and cut 1 small section (about 5-10cm) from the bottom, then break the whole cabbage into 2 pieces by hand. The purpose of this technique is to make the final product look more naturally stretched. And in the same way, 1/2 of the cabbage will be divided into two petals each, ****4 small petals. 2. Lift each cabbage leaf and evenly rub salt on the leaves. This time need to pay attention to is: in the operation must move gently! Because the leaves are fresh and crisp, they are easy to break if you are not careful. A true master of the art of making spicy cabbage should not only make it taste great, but also make sure that the shape of the cabbage is complete and beautiful. 3, after the cabbage placed in a suitable container (dry, no oil, no debris in a large pot, deep dish can be) in the marinade 8 - 10 hours. 4, throughout the pickling process, the cabbage will gradually become soft and water under the action of salt. This achieves the purpose of making the cabbage excess water oozing out, the next step with the sauce will be more fully. Pour off the oozing water, shake off the salt still attached to the leaves at this point, and wrap the cabbage in kitchen paper towels to absorb the excess water. 4, the sauce 1, the leek peeled off the outer leaves, washed and cut into 4cm sections. Wash, peel and grate the carrots. Pear and apple peeling, core, cut into small particles. Finely chop the green onion. The garlic and ginger are pressed with a garlic press (or pounded in a stone mortar) into a puree. 2. Place all of the above ingredients in a large bowl with the chili powder, sugar and remaining salt, and stir well to combine. 3. Let stand for about 10 minutes so that some of the ingredients become watery, then whisk again to make a sauce-like dressing. 5, coated sauce 1, the cabbage has been drained out of the water, one by one, lift the leaves, will be mixed with the seasoning sauce evenly spread on the surface of each leaf. This time, after the cabbage has been salted, the leaves are very smooth and snug, but you still need to pay attention when applying the sauce: try to keep each leaf intact. 2. You can wear kitchen gloves once during the sauce application process to avoid damaging the skin on your hands and to operate more freely. 3. After the sauce is applied, carefully roll each ? clove of Chinese cabbage into a tube from the bottom in a tight spiral, place it in a suitable sized, open-topped tupperware box, and seal it tightly with the lid closed. The main purpose of this is to ensure that the next fermentation process of spicy cabbage can be carried out in a relatively simple space fully. 6, fermentation 1, the sealed plastic box filled with spicy cabbage into the refrigerator fresh room storage. It can also be placed outside in winter, provided that it is out of direct sunlight and air circulation. 2. The fermentation process normally takes about 1 week. When the spicy cabbage fermentation to have a sour flavor can be eaten, this time it is best to seal the plastic box together with the fixed refrigerator fresh room storage. 3, the flavor and nutritional value of spicy cabbage and fermentation time, storage temperature varies, generally in 2 ~ 7 degrees, natural fermentation 2 ~ 3 weeks of the best flavor, this time the highest vitamin content. 7, storage 1, in different regions of the family, the home refrigerator is a place where you can store spicy cabbage at a constant temperature.

Korean spicy cabbage marinade can be found on the Internet in countless, but the basic ingredients used can not be separated from the following: crushed and powdered chili peppers, minced garlic, minced ginger, sugar (or sweeteners, such as xylitol, etc.), salt, monosodium glutamate (MSG). Other ingredients such as fruits are mainly fruity and sweet; chives are mainly for freshness and color; seafood and meat are mainly to enhance the flavor and reduce fermentation time; glutinous rice or glutinous rice powder is to increase the consistency of the marinade in order to make it easier to spread the marinade evenly when marinating. Some people also put some strange ingredients in the spicy cabbage, which I understand as personalization, one of the countless "Hamlet". Production steps: no matter which category, the steps are roughly three steps, the first step, cooled (read sha, kill) water, cabbage and other ingredients with salt for a while, squeeze out the water. Step 2: Prepare the marinade by mixing all the marinade ingredients together. Third, marinade, marinate the marinade on the ingredients cooled and squeezed dry (whole cabbage), or mixed (chopped cabbage and vegetables), and marinate in an airtight container. Note: Keep hands, containers and tools free of oil throughout the marinating process. Keep the marinade at low temperature and away from light, refrigerator freezer is the best.

Pickling time is short, about 48 hours can be eaten. Can not save time too long, suitable for small batch production, about two weeks to eat. Mixed vegetables - the raw material must be chopped, 3-5 cm square can be. You can add meat and fish ingredients to the marinade. The marinade time is short, and can be eaten on the same day. Can not be stored for a long time, suitable for ready-to-eat. Kimchi, is the most famous Korean cuisine, and spicy cabbage is the most representative of Korean kimchi.
