Method
- Sterilise the jars using the ‘disinfect items’ function on Miele steam ovens. Alternatively Steam the bottles upside down for 10 minutes at 100⁰
- In a large bowl, combine cabbage and salt flakes. Cover with warm water to dissolve. Stand for 30 minutes. Drain cabbage onto a paper towel lined baking tray and discard water.
- Combine ginger, sugar, fish sauce, the additional salt flakes and garlic in a large bowl. Mix well.
- Squeeze out excess water from the cabbage and add it to the bowl, along with the remaining vegetables and chilli paste. Using gloved hands or a wooden spoon, mix until vegetables have released a lot of juices and there is enough brine to cover.
