Preparing napa cabbage dish is a challenging task. Anyone agree with me ? How many recipe can you actually search under this category.... other than kimchi, cabbage roll, vegetarian dish and soup ? Napa cabbage isn't my family thing but today I managed to catch their attention to dig into this refreshing dish. That is a good sign indeed. This refreshing pickling cabbage is also perfect to go along with
Banh Mi @ The Vietnamese sandwich.
Note : My apology to all readers that I have actually missed out the vinegar on my recipe earlier.
Ingredients :
one quarter
napa cabbage, sliced
1 Japanese cucumber, sliced
1 carrot, julienned
2 bird eye chilies
one bunch of cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup vinegar
140gm sugar
1 inch ginger, julienned
Method :
(1) bring water to boil then add in sugar till dissolved, off the heat then throw the fresh ginger and leave to cool completely.
(2) bring a pot of water to boil then off the heat, blanched cabbage, cucumber & carrot separately and drained.
(3) finally, combine all ingredients into a glassware or pot except cilantro. And let to stay overnight in the fridge.
And when its done the following day, stir in cilantro and serve. Hope you guys will love it too ! Enjoy.
