California Farm Instant Kimchi and Sauerkraut

We ran out of home made sauerkraut, I am making a new batch, but sauerkraut fermentation takes a few days to a few weeks till ready. Here is instant sauerkraut, a one hour adaptation of a two hour Russian recipe. The combination of coarse rock salt, bruised cabbage and bruised leeks or onions activates fermentation. If you bruise the cabbage and leek till they release their juices, you can get sauerkraut in a day. If you sautee bruised sauerkraut, you get fresh sauerkraut in an hour.
The combination of napa cabbage with coarse rock salt, green mexican onions and winter carrots, and spices, all bruised, then squeezed, makes delicious kimchi in a day.
