Cooking

1. Prepare the ingredients for making marinated Chinese cabbage. The cabbage should be firm, without suspicious spots and wilted leaves. Cut off the damaged areas with a knife. The snack is prepared without hot pepper, but still turns out to be spicy and hot.

2. Cut the Chinese cabbage in half with a sharp knife, but only along the white part.

3. Then separate the upper leaves with your hands (they will easily come off from each other, even without deforming).

4. Now you can cut off the stalk.

5. And then cut the resulting halves along the white part again in half, and separate the top with your hands.

6. Cut the leaves across by 1.5-2 centimeters.

7. Transfer them to a deep salad bowl, in which it will be convenient to mix the ingredients.

8. Pass the carrot through a vegetable peeler for Korean carrots or use a grater for carrots in Korean.

9. Add the carrot straw to the cabbage.

10. Squeeze the garlic with a press.

11. Put all the spices at once.

12. Mix the ingredients with your hand, so that the carrot, garlic and spices are evenly distributed between the pieces of Chinese cabbage.

13. Pour everything with vegetable oil.

14. Add vinegar.

15. Now knead and rub the ingredients with your hands, but not too hard - the cabbage pieces should still remain whole.

16. Transfer the snack to a container with a tight lid. Tamp down the contents and refrigerate for 6 hours.

17. Marinated Chinese cabbage is ready - delicious, fragrant and healthy. It will perfectly dilute any meat dish, highlight the taste of sandwiches or shawarma with a bright accent, give a special flavor to ordinary pasta or cereals. The snack is stored in a glass container with a tight lid for up to two weeks.
