Quick and Easy Shio-koji Pickled Cabbages with Sesame Oil

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

Ingredients

  1. 1/2Cabbage
  2. 2heaping tablespoons Shio-koji
  3. 1Sesame oil

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

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

  5. 5

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

  6. 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.

  7. 7

    Here's a photo from the second day.

  8. 8

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

  9. 9

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

  10. 10

Can I just verify that this is cabbage, and not Chinese cabbage? Thanks!
