Fresh and Spicy Napa Cabbage

Fresh and Spicy Napa Cabbage

Heavy salting draws out moisture before chili powder, a fruit-and-aromatic paste, and chili sauces get worked in. Fermentation mellows it into a lively, spicy side.

    Perfect, fresh, spicy, and refreshing, you end up eating two more bowls of rice. For those who can't handle spicy food, you can use Korean chili paste and skip the dried chili peppers.
