Instant sweet cabbage

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 8 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make instant sweet cabbage? Prepare your food. Choose sweet, late autumn varieties of cabbage, it is the sweetest and juiciest. Take odorless vegetable oil. Table vinegar, 9%. It is better to use filtered or bottled water.

2. STEP 2

   

   Tear off the top leaves of the cabbage. Finely chop the cabbage. You can use a special grater or shredder for cabbage, then it will be thinner and more tasty.

3. STEP 3

   

   Grate the well-washed and peeled carrots on a coarse grater.

4. STEP 4

   

   Mix cabbage and carrots in a bowl. While stirring, press lightly on the cabbage to soften it and reduce in volume.

5. STEP 5

   

   Take a one and a half liter jar. Stuff the prepared cabbage into it properly. Put a small layer - crush it with your fist. All the cabbage should fit, which is why it had to be squeezed out in the previous step. I got a small fork, weighing less than what was required according to the norm, so my cabbage in the jar is not crowded. Place bay leaf and other spices to taste in the jar. Pour in vegetable oil.

6. STEP 6

   

   Prepare the marinade. How to make a marinade? Take a saucepan. Pour sugar and salt into it, fill it with clean cold water.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the saucepan over medium heat. While stirring, wait until the sugar and salt dissolve.

8. STEP 8

   

   Bring the brine to a boil, boil for a few minutes. Then pour in the vinegar. Wait until it boils again and cook the marinade for 2 minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   Pour the hot marinade over the prepared cabbage. Pour in carefully, in a small stream, so as not to burst the glass jar. The marinade should cover all the cabbage to the top. If the cabbage is left without marinade, then press it on top with a spoon so that it is all marinated.

10. STEP 10

    

    Leave the jar of cabbage to cool on the counter. When it has cooled, close the jar with a lid and put it in the refrigerator. The cabbage will be ready in 6-8 hours. Serve it to the table, transfer it to a salad bowl, you can add chopped onions and herbs. Bon appetit!

Now I make cabbage salad almost every day, but I want some variety. I found a recipe for instant sweet cabbage on my favorite website. Our whole family loves sweet cabbage) I used young, loose cabbage, but hoped that it would not become too soft. I didn’t crush it for the same reason. I grated the carrots using a Korean carrot grater for beauty. I wanted to take mustard oil, it is aromatic and healthy. The only question I had was about vinegar, I forgot the proportions again) But on the line with this ingredient there is a calculator, I clicked on it and filled out the plate and immediately found out the proportions I needed! It's great! It turned out that I needed to take 220 ml. water and 30 ml. vinegar essence. The cabbage was marinated for a day and was served just in time for dinner. It turned out unusual, not like winter. The cabbage remained crispy, but became a little soft. The carrots became hard and crunchy, just like pickled carrots should) But the taste is amazing! So sweet and sour, pleasant, I immediately drank the pickle) This is a great alternative to the usual summer salad!
