Method

Turn cooking mode on

Step 1

Start with a medium head of cabbage (2 to 2.5 lbs), remove the outer leaves and save one.

Finely shred the cabbage, add 1 tablespoon sea salt, and massage in a large bowl until it softens and releases brine (5–10 mins).

Step 3

Pack the cabbage tightly into a clean jar and pour extra liquid on top.

Step 4

Use the reserved leaf to press the cabbage down and keep it submerged. Add a weight if you want.

Step 5
