* Yields 3 half-liter jars.
This pickled vegetable is appreciated in China, especially with rice porridge. However, it is also used with other vegetables in Chinese salads.
Clean the cabbage head, removing damaged outer leaves. Cut the inner leaves into 3 to 5 cm pieces, rinse, drain well in a sieve and pat dry in an airy place for 1 day. Remove peel from carrots and beet and cut into narrow slices. Clean the radishes, removing the root and green, cut into quarters and pat well. Chop the seeded chili peppers.
Melt the salt in 1 1/2 l of boiling hot water. Cool the liquid, add gin and all prepared vegetables including chilies. Fill the cabbage mixture into 3 canning jars, close tightly and steep in a warm place for 1 week. Now the vegetables are pleasantly spicy, salty and very crunchy.
Translator’s note: It is best to fill the pickles together with the water into French household jars (Le Parfait), which can be bought in department stores and cook-shops. By the way, a mass of sausages, meats and jams are offered in these jars, so you just need to collect them.
If you do not have the opportunity to air dry the cabbage, spread it out on a dry kitchen towel and place a hair dryer in front of it, set to cool, of course. After 1 hour, you can already continue working.
