Preparing ingredients for making pickled cabbage
- cabbage is chosen in the same way as for pickling - white, juicy and dense, it should contain a lot of sugars;
- freed from the upper outer leaves, the head of cabbage is chopped into small strips using a shredder or simply by hand with a sharp knife. Sometimes cabbage is cut into checkers, so it will better retain nutrients and be crispy;
- The carrots for this preparation should be bright, juicy and sweet; most often they are grated. The most beautiful pickled cabbage is obtained if you grate the carrots in the same way as for cooking in Korean;
- It is better to take sweet peppers that are multi-colored, fully ripe with thick walls - this is the juiciest vegetable. Before cutting it, you need to wash it well and be sure to remove the seeds; you need to cut the pepper into strips;
- If you use onions, you should not take very hot varieties: onion bitterness can give the product an unpleasant aftertaste, semi-sweet varieties will give the necessary spiciness and a sweetish aftertaste. Cut the onion into slices or half rings;
