Ingredients

  • ½ head small to medium red cabbage
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ tablespoon sugar
  • ½ cup red wine vinegar or any other kind you prefer
  • 4 cloves garlic smashed
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon Thai chili flakes

Instructions

  • Wash the cabbage and remove the core. Slice with a mandolin and set aside.
  • In a bowl, dissolve sugar and salt in the water. Add red wine vinegar, smashed garlic, and ground Thai chili pepper and mix well.
  • Pour the brine over the cabbage, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let sit for about 6 hours before transferring into a glass container and storing in the fridge.

Notes

You can eat the pickled cabbage right away after 6 hours but it will be better if you start eating it the next day. The pickle will keep refrigerated for about a month.
