    Thai Pickled Cabbage

    Remember my review of Asian Pickles: Sweet, Sour, Salty, Cured, and Fermented Preserves from Korea, Japan, China, India, and Beyond by Karen Solomon?  One of the recipes that I marked to try was the Thai Pickled Cabbage.  Well, I've tried it, and just as I hoped, I love it!  If you love Thai flavors, that mix of salty, sweet, and hot with an earthy hit from fish sauce, you will love these!  I know it may not look hugely attractive (or at least to some of you - to me it's pretty cute!), but it tastes amazing.

    It can be used in so many ways and since it keeps in your fridge for about 3 weeks, you have plenty of time to try them all!  I love it on top of fried rice.  It's great stirred into a big bowl of noodles, or on top of grilled pork or fish.  It can even be used a sort of Thai coleslaw.

    Author Pam Greer (From Karen Solomon's Asian Pickles)

    Ingredients

    • 1 ½ pounds napa cabbage
    • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
    • ½ cup lime juice
    • 3 tablespoons fish sauce
    • 1 tablespoon sugar
    • 1 clove garlic finely minced
    • 1 ½ inch piece of ginger peeled and finely minced
    • 1 small jalapeño chile

    Instructions

    • Discard the tough outer leaves and quarter the cabbage. Chop into about 1-inch pieces. Place in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Toss it with your hands. Let the cabbage sit in a sink, draining for about 20 minutes. Stir it about halfway through. The cabbage will start to wilt and look wet.
    • Combine the lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, garlic, and ginger in a large bowl. Stem the jalapeño and slice it into thin rounds and add to the bowl.
    • Rinse the cabbage with cool water to get rid of some of the salt. Squeeze it to get rid of all the excess moisture, then let it drain well.
    • Add the drained cabbage to the brine and toss to combine. It can be eaten immediately, but it is much better the next day. Can be refrigerated for at least 3 weeks.
