Maybe you have already tried kimchi, love the avour combinations, and are ready to try something new. Pinkchi is a great avour and colour addition to your plate or bowl!
You will need:
- one head of cabbage
- a few carrots
- one small beetroot one
- small white radish
- a leek
- a few spring onions
- a small onion
- one apple
- garlic
- ginger
- chilli to taste
- salt
Instructions:
Cut up the cabbage as fine as you like (optionally save one of the outer leaves for covering the kraut), shred the carrots and radish and finely slice the leek / onion.
Core the apple and cut into pieces, chop the beetroot into small pieces, peel your garlic and wash/peel and chop the ginger, add the chilli and blend everything into a paste in a blender or similar device.
Put everything into a big bowl. weigh ingredients and add 2% salt (so for every kg of veggies and paste add 20g of salt). Alternatively you can also salt by taste.
Mix everything until you get a visible amount of liquid (brine) in the bottom of the bowl
Stuff the Pink-chi tightly (no air!) into your fermentation vessel of choice – cover top with extra cabbage leaves to cover from air.
Tightly close your vessel and label it with the date and content. Let ferment at room temperature for a week. Place a plate under your vessel/jar if it might over flow while fermenting.
After a week at room temperature move the pink-chi to the fridge or another cold place and let it ferment for 3 more weeks.
Refrigerate and enjoy over the next months!
could you translate measurements to tsp and TBS measurements
