- 1 medium head of cabbage, shredded
- 1 tbsp sea salt
- 1–2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
- 1 tsp caraway seeds (optional)
- Filtered water (as needed)
- Shred the cabbage finely and place it in a large bowl.
- Sprinkle salt over the cabbage and massage it for 5-10 minutes until it releases liquid.
- Add garlic and caraway seeds if using, then mix well.
- Pack the cabbage tightly into a clean jar, pressing down to submerge it in its own liquid.
- If needed, add a little filtered water to cover the cabbage completely.
- Seal the jar loosely and let it ferment at room temperature for 3-10 days.
- Check daily, pressing cabbage down if needed, and taste for desired sourness.
- Once fermented, store in the fridge for up to 2 months.
Notes
- Use clean utensils to prevent contamination.
- Fermentation time varies with temperature—warmer rooms ferment faster.
- Bubbles and a tangy smell are normal signs of fermentation.
