INSTRUCTIONS
from EVERYBODY'S WOKING, by Martin Yan (a book I have used so much that
it's dog-eared and stained with recipe ingredients. It's a fabulous
cookbook!)
Cut the cabbage lengthwise into sections about 2 inches wide; remove the
core. cut each section crosswise into 2-inch lengths. Place the cabbage in
a large bowl, sprinkle it with the salt, and toss to mix well. Cover with
an inverted plate and weight it down with a heavy object, such as a large
juice can or a 1-qt. jar filled with water. Let stand for 30 minutes.
Lightly rinse the cabbage under cold running water and drain. Squeeze it to
extract most of the liquid.
Combine the remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Add the cabbage and mix
well. Transfer the mixture to a glass bowl or crock. Cover with an inverted
plate and weight down with a heavy object. Refrigerate for 4 days before
eating (needs time to ferment).

“When Holy God draws near in true revival, people come under terrible conviction of sin. The outstanding feature of spiritual awakening has been the profound consciousness of the Presence and holiness of God. #Henry Blackaby”
