Cajun in da Carolinas
Anyone lacto-fermenting in vaccuum bags? Here is my Kimchi. I add my Creole fare to this Korean dish.
1 head napa Cabbage
2 carrots
1 red onion
2 bunches of green onion - tops too
Kosher salt
Garlic powder
Cayenne powder
Powdered Crab Boil
Cut cabbage and salt in layers in a colander in the sink.. this helps wilt the cabbage so it will stuff better. The salt ferments the veggies. While this is "salting"
Shave carrots, slice red onions thin, cut green onions in large slices...including green onion tops. Mix with Crab Boil, garlic powder, and cayenne
Using a large vacuum bag.. layer the cabbage (dont rinse salt), and other veggies...seal...label...and put in a dark room temp place (I use our lower kitchen cabinet). Keep an eye on it as it will create CO2 and could explode... burp and reseal if necessary... I'll add pics each day till its ready... about a week for me.
It makes it's own juice ... which makes a great hot sauce... sautee this with jambalaya or egg...wow! ITs amazing! It's good for ya too...provided you can handle a lil too much salt.
