Pickled Chinese cabbage

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 10 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to pickle Chinese cabbage? Very simple! The main products that we will need to prepare pickled Chinese cabbage. Wash cabbage, bell pepper, tomato and herbs. Peel the garlic.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the Chinese cabbage into fairly large pieces. You can cut the cabbage crosswise into thick circles, or then cut the circles into two more parts.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cut bell peppers in half, remove seeds. Cut each half into thin half rings. If possible, you can use peppers of different colors in the salad, then the finished cabbage in the salad bowl will look bright and festive.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pass the garlic through a garlic press or grate it on a fine grater.

5. STEP 5

   

   Chop the greens not very finely. The recipe used a bunch of cilantro and a bunch of parsley. You can take one of the two according to your taste.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place chopped Chinese cabbage and pepper in a large container (in this case a large saucepan was used), also add garlic and herbs. Cut the tomato into two parts and grate each half on a coarse grater. Throw away the remaining tomato skin; it will no longer be needed.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add salt and sugar, ground hot pepper to all ingredients (Tabasco sauce can be used instead of pepper). Pour in vinegar and vegetable oil. The recipe used herbal vinegar 5%. Mix everything thoroughly with well-washed hands (if there are wounds on your hands, it is better to use disposable rubber gloves). You need to mix the salad, as if lightly squeezing the cabbage in your hands.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the salad tightly in a clean jar to the very top, close the lid and place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least an hour. If you leave the cabbage overnight, you will have the perfect salad appetizer the next day!

I haven’t pickled Chinese cabbage yet; I always used it fresh for salads. But now there is a lot of white cabbage, and my husband brought home Chinese cabbage. On the website I found a recipe for pickled Chinese cabbage, following which I prepared a new interesting salad. True, I made it in advance, we tried it a day later. For the salad, I used some frozen bell peppers. They are great for pickling. Young vigorous garlic was cut into long pieces so that it could be clearly felt. I took parsley from the greens. But I forgot about the tomato, but the salad still turned out very tasty. I mixed the vegetables with the marinade and put everything in a one-liter jar. A day later, the contents of the jar had settled to half their size. But all the vegetables were perfectly soaked in the delicious sweet and sour marinade. In addition, garlic adds an appetizing spice!) The pickled Chinese cabbage turned out to be excellent. Thanks for the recipe!
