Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Half of purple cabbage, washed and drained.

   

2. 2 Tear the purple cabbage into small pieces, put it into a food processor with a little cold boiled water, and smash.

   

3. 3 Strain the cabbage juice.

   

4. 4 Add salt, sugar and peppercorns according to your own taste. Because it was the first time I made it, I tasted it while putting it in, so I didn’t know the specific amount of salt and sugar, which was quite embarrassing...

   

5. 5 After placing the salt, sugar, and peppercorns, add an appropriate amount of white vinegar to adjust the color. Purple cabbage contains anthocyanins, which turn red when exposed to acid. The more white vinegar, the redder the juice will be. Taste the prepared cabbage juice and judge based on your usual taste. If it feels a little salty and a little sour, it's fine. If you like spicy food, you can add a few millet millets into it.

   

6. 6 Wash and dry the white radish, peel and cut into thin slices. Choose white radish that is watery. Don't choose green radish, which is not crispy enough.

   

7. 7 Soak the radish slices in the prepared cabbage juice, seal and store in the refrigerator. I took it out and tasted it the next morning. It was very crisp. The acidity was enough without any salty taste. I added a little salt and it tasted very good when I tasted it in the evening.

   

8. 8 After soaking for two days, take them out. The radish slices are full of juice and have a uniform and bright color. They are so amazing when placed on the plate!
