Actual sauerkraut doesn't use vinegar!!!
But I don't have the time to brine it in salt...

I want to eat it right away!! So, I made some sauerkraut with this recipe.

It's easy to mistake sauerkraut as a pickled dish, but it's actually just soaked in salt for a "lactic acid fermentation" process, so vinegar isn't used.
(I used to think that it was pickled...but that's a secret)

You can use wine vinegar, apple vinegar, or rakkyo vinegar! If you're using a sweet vinegar, decrease the amount of sugar. Recipe by Popotankobu

Steps

1

Cut the cabbage into thin strips. Place the cabbage and salt into a heat-resistant container, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave for 3 minutes.
2

While it's microwaving, combine the ◆ ingredients. Once the cabbage has finished microwaving, wring out the moisture (it will be hot, so be careful). Combine with the ◆ ingredients and stir, stir, stir.
3

Let it cool (for several minutes), and once the flavors blend in thoroughly, it's done. This is so simple that German people may be angry!
4

Bonus: If you make a lot and store it in an airtight jar or Tupperware (plastic) container, it should keep for 1 week.
5

Bonus: I've recently spotted this "Frühkohl" cabbage in supermarkets! It looks just like Japanese cabbage!
6

Bonus: This is the cross-section of a "Spitzkohl" cabbage. 1 kg = 99 cents. So cheap!
7

Bonus: This is a "Jaromakohl" cabbage. It sorta looks like Japanese cabbage!
