Instructions

  1. Wash and clean the cabbage and cut into fine strips. Put a small part of the cabbage with some of the salt in a bowl.
  2. Squeeze the cabbage with your fist until liquid comes out. Gradually top up with the remaining cabbage and ingredients and continue to mash until all of the cabbage has given off plenty of liquid.
  3. Fill the mason jar approx. 4/5 and press the cabbage down firmly so that it is covered with the liquid.
  4. Leave the jar to stand for 10-12 days at room temperature (approx. 18-20 ° C). Then put the glass in a cool place for 6 - 8 weeks (0 - 8 ° C) to ripen.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
