Blanched cabbage is rubbed with a whisper of salt and layered in a ceramic crock with dried chili powder and ginger, souring naturally into winter's staple.

    Neatly pack the cabbage into the jar, sprinkling each layer with dried chili powder and shredded ginger. Seal the opening with plastic wrap and fasten it tightly with a rubber band, then put on the lid and fill the groove around the lid with cool boiled water.

    Place in a cool place and set aside. In winter, it usually sours in about 4 to 5 days. If you like it more sour, you can leave it for a longer time. However, I took it out the next day to stir-fry with meat. The taste is really good!
