Cabbage pickling method is as follows:
Preparation materials: 1 cabbage, sea crystal salt (coarse salt) moderate, pickle altar.
Steps:
1, the cabbage to remove the outside of the first and second layer of bad leaves, and cut off the root, the cabbage all two petals. Try to pick less green leaves, more yellow leaves, and more compact cabbage, so that the pickled out of the golden color, looks more attractive, appetizing. The cabbage does not need to be cleaned, just peel off the skin, cut off the root, and simply organize it. When in the pickle pickled, eat before and then clean with water on the line.
2, cut the cabbage into thin julienne, silk, do not cut too thick and thin, will be cut into a good shredded cabbage into a large pot.
3, sprinkle the appropriate amount of coarse salt, and then the coarse salt and cabbage mix well, put aside for a few hours, such as cabbage water analysis out. Try to use the coarse salt of pickles, if you do not have on hand, you can also use the salt of fried vegetables instead. In general: 10 pounds of cabbage, add 80 grams - 100 grams of salt can be. Salt added less, sauerkraut is not easy to ferment acid but more prone to deterioration; salt added more, sauerkraut system can not become a pickled cabbage.
4, after the cabbage is killed by the salt water, with no water and oil chopsticks will be shredded cabbage into the kimchi altar (kimchi altar without water and oil).
5, while adding the shredded cabbage, use a rolling pin to press the loaded shredded cabbage into the mortar and pestle.
6, Finally, after the shredded cabbage is in the pot, pour in the brine from the pot as well. At the same time, use a small fork to clean the shredded cabbage from the wall of the altar, so that all the shredded cabbage in the altar is immersed in the juice and become one. Don't overfill the shredded cabbage; seven or eight full at the most will do. This is because sauerkraut produces gas during fermentation, and overfilling it can easily cause the altar to burst.
7. Finally, cover the small bowl of kimchi, drizzle with water, and place it indoors.
