The hot cabbage with sweet and sour crispness has always been a good idea. I used to go to the supermarket to buy ready-made cabbage. But I'm not sure about the over gorgeous color. I had a chance to learn from my mother-in-law (she is Korean). It was so simple. I made it by myself twice. It's very successful. It also proves the fact that the supermarket bought it unnaturally. The color of homemade hot cabbage will turn dark after being pickled for a long time. The bag of hot cabbage bought by supermarket is extremely red no matter how long it is left. It's very abnormal. It's not known whether there will be chemical additives such as Sudan in it. The homemade hot cabbage is crispy, sweet and sour. It's delicious, safe and easy to make. It's such a delicious and simple food. I'd like to share with you my simple version of hot cabbage recipe (there are many ways to make hot cabbage, and there are different seasonings. What I make is the simplest in my family, but it's delicious).

Step3:When the water is finished, wash away the salt still attached to the cabbage leaves. Use the kitchen paper towel to absorb the excess water from the cabbage.

Step5:Mash garlic and ginger into a paste

Increase or decrease the proportion of sugar and salt according to personal taste. Put more salt. The salty taste is lighter after salting. Put the amount of chili powder until the sauce turns bright re
Step7:Let it stand for about 10 minutes. Let some ingredients come out of the water, and then stir it again. It will be used as sauce seasoning.

Step12:Compared with Sichuan pickle, the fermentation process of hot cabbage is longer. Generally, it takes 2 weeks. After the first week, it's sweet and crisp. It's not fully fermented. Nitrite is also the most abundant in the first week. It's best to eat it after 23 weeks with sour taste. At this time, there is no nitrite. It's the most healthy and delicious.
