Ingredients

2 inch piece of fresh ginger
1 root, peeled and mashed
4 cloves garlic, mashed
1 whole sweet red pepper,
1 diced fine
1 bn green onions, chopped
2 tb sugar
1/4 ts msg
2 tb korean crushed red pepper

Instructions
Coarsely chop and wash 2-3 pounds Chinese cabbage. Layer in large plastic or glass container with about 1/2 cup salt and let sit up to 1/2 day or overnight. Rinse very well and drain well. Taste to see how salty it is. May need to rinse and drain again, several times. Mix above mixture with well-drained cabbage using wooden spoon or rubber-gloved hands in plastic or glass container. DO NOT USE METAL. Pack tightly in clean glass jar. One 3 1/2 pound cabbage will fill a 32-ounce container. Add water to the dregs in the plastic tub if need more juice when jar is packed. Top with plastic wrap, rubber band, paper towel and jar lid. I find that putting entire container in a plastic bag with a twist-em to close it helps keep the odor out of the refrigerator. Keep refrigerated.
