Main Ingredients

  • 1 medium cabbage, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)

Instructions 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and sea salt.
  2. Massage the cabbage with your hands for about 10 minutes until it starts to release its juices.
  3. Add caraway seeds if using and mix well.
  4. Pack the cabbage tightly into a clean jar, pressing down to ensure the cabbage is submerged in its own juices.
  5. Cover the jar with a cloth and secure it with a rubber band or string.
  6. Let it ferment at room temperature for 1-4 weeks, checking daily to ensure the cabbage remains submerged.
  7. Once it reaches the desired taste, transfer to the refrigerator.
