By gbvampy1

Ingredients

• 1/2 white cabbage- sliced and shredded
• 1/4 napa cabbage - sliced and shredded
• 1.5-2 tablespoons of salt
• 1 large red onion
• 2 jalapenos - remove seeds for less spice
• 1 bunch of cilantro thinly chopped
• 4 radishes
• 1/2 teaspoon of dried crushed chipotle powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of dried crushed jalapeno chile

Preparation

Step 1

1)Pour the salt over the cabbage and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.  Once the cabbage begins to release the juices, massage it for another 5 minutes.  

2)Add all the remaining ingredients and toss together.

3)Begin adding the cabbage to your mason jar and push down to extract the liquid.As with kraut or kimchi, if there is not enough liquid to cover the brine you can add additional brine at a ratio of 1 tablespoon per 1 quart water

4)Screw on your Easy Fermenter lids and wait about 10-15 days.
