Because cabbage is so nutritious, I pickle it with shio-koji to eat everyday. One time I drizzled sesame oil and it really improved the taste. Ever since then I've served this dish with sesame oil.

When putting the cabbage into a bag, add half of the shio-koji part way through. When all the cabbage is in the bag, add the rest of the shio-koji. This makes it easier to distribute.
Please adjust the amount of shio-koji since the salt content varies by brand.
If you use a zip lock bag, it lasts longer. Recipe by Milis

Steps

1

Chop the cabbage roughly. Put into a large airtight zip bag or a plastic bag.
2

Add the shio-koji and close the bag firmly. Shake so that the shio-koji is distributed evenly.
3

When done, chill in the vegetable compartment of the fridge (put a weight on top to pickle faster).
4

It'll become saltier as it pickles, so salty it slightly on the first day.
5

Sprinkle sesame oil to serve. (It's tasty even when freshly made!)
6

Here's how it looks on the following day. The cabbage produces some excess liquid, so make sure to shake the bag occasionally so it pickles evenly.

Here's a photo from the second day.

I usually make tons to eat throughout the week, but it's so tasty that it usually doesn't last that long!
9

You can also serve it without pickling, then it tastes like a salad.
