Ingredients

Servings
  • 560 grams Napa cabbage (about ¼ head, cut into 2-inch pieces)
  • 90 grams carrot julienned
  • 30 grams scallions (chopped)
  • 5 grams ginger (minced)
  • 20 grams salt (~1 tablespoon + ½ teaspoon)
  • 2-3 chili peppers
  • 5 grams konbu (cut into thin strips)

Instructions

  1. If you are using a different quantity of vegetables, weigh them, and then multiply that number by .03. This will give you the amount of salt to add. For example, in this recipe, we're using a total of 685 grams of vegetables, and 3% of 685 is about 20 grams of salt.
  2. Toss all of the ingredients together and pack them into a large zipper bag.
  3. Press out any excess air from the bag and seal it. Put the bag in a tray and cover with another smaller tray that's weighted down with cans.
  4. The asazuke is ready to eat when the cabbage has released a lot of liquid and has become translucent.
