This quick, spicy, tangy cabbage side dish stands in

for the traditional salty Korean staple. Unlike

fermented kimchi, this quick variation is best eaten

shortly after preparing and does not keep its crunchy

texture when stored. Enjoy it with grilled meats or

chicken.

 

ChupaNote: I doubled the garlic, ginger, red pepper

and scallions. Used Japanese rice vinegar instead of

distilled. We call it 'Korean Coleslaw'!!!!
