🇯🇵Just pickle it at home. Addictive Polipoli Cabbage❤️❤️

[Ingredients] (Preservation period: 3 days)

Cabbage: 1/2

Carrot: 1

Cucumber: 1

Garlic: 1/2 grain

O Sugar: 1 tablespoon

Salt: 2 teaspoon

O Salted kelp: 1 tablespoon

Rice vinegar: 1 tablespoon

Umami seasoning: 1/2 teaspoon

Whenever cabbage is on sale, it's a taste that I remember my grandma making. I made "addictive lightly pickled cabbage".

The key to achieving the perfect texture and just the right amount of flavor, even though it was made in a short amount of time, is just the weight of two plastic bottles.

Even if you eat a lot, the flavor is light and doesn't overwhelm you, but the fact that it's addictive is thanks to just a little bit of garlic.
The balance of salty, sour, sweet, spiciness, and umami is really good, and you can eat endless amounts of rice

The preparation and pickling time is short, making it a great recipe that can be eaten the same day.

Even if you're on a low-carb diet, it's delicious just by putting it on top of tofu and adding a little soy sauce. It's so delicious that once you try it, you won't be able to eat any other pickles.

I think you'll definitely enjoy it not only as a regular dish, but also as an appetizer for lunch boxes and drinks.

Please try making it once.
