Ingredients
- 2 ½ c Bol Choy (Chinese Cabbage), finely sliced
- 1 yellow onion, peeled and chopped
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 5 stalks of celery, finely chopped
- 5 carrots, peeled, and coarsely grated
- 2-inch piece of raw ginger, peeled, and grated
- 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded, finely chopped
- 4-inch piece of daikon radish, peeled, grated
- 1 bunch of parsley, finely chopped
- ½ c pulse, dried (optional, but recommended)
- ½ c apple cider or rice vinegar, or 1/2 a cup of the liquid from previously fermented vegetables
Instructions
- Sanitize a wide-mouth mason jar and glass weight by submerging them in water in a saucepan. Slowly bring to a boil, let boil for 10 minutes, then remove with tongs and set aside to cool.
- Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Muddle the vegetables with a kraut pounder to release as much juice as possible.
- Transfer the vegetables to the mason jar. Top up with filtered water, if necessary, to fully cover the vegetables. Allow a 1-inch headspace for expansion inside the jar.
- Add the glass weight to fully submerge the vegetables under the liquid. Set the fermentation lock in place.
- Store in a cool, dry place for five days.
- Refrigerate the jar when it’s finished fermenting. Tip: The flavors will become more acidic over time, while the spicy flavors will lessen.
