I am writing this recipe and thinking about how many different dishes can be prepared from such a simple vegetable as cabbage. It is available at any time of the year, while the price of cabbage is quite moderate at any time of the year.
So, we wash the cabbage head and remove the upper leaves.
Before cooking cabbage, you should decide how long you are going to store it ready-made. It depends on the amount of salt that you add to the cabbage when cooking it.
When adding salt to cabbage at the rate of 5 grams of salt per kilogram of cabbage, such a billet will not be subject to long-term storage. It is this cooking option that I recommend to you, because cabbage rarely lies around for a long time – everything is eaten very quickly.
For long-term storage, it is recommended to add salt at the rate of 25 grams per kilogram of cabbage.
