Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the fresh red cabbage and radish for the Jangajji thoroughly. Remove the core from the red cabbage and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Peel the radish and cut it into similar-sized pieces. Cutting the vegetables into pieces that are not too small will help maintain their texture and allow the brine to penetrate well.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the delicious brining solution! In a pot, combine soy sauce, double strength vinegar, water, pickling spices, and sugar in appropriate amounts. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the mixture starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 more minutes to allow the flavors to fully infuse. Just before turning off the heat, add the same amount of double strength vinegar and boil for another moment to enhance the sweet and sour taste.
Step 3
Let the well-boiled brining solution cool down slightly so it’s not too hot. Pour enough of the cooled brine into the container with the prepared red cabbage and radish so that the vegetables are just covered. This will complete your delicious assorted pickled vegetables. Pressing down the vegetables to ensure they are submerged in the brine is even better. After letting the completed Jangajji sit at room temperature for about a day to allow the brine to soak into the vegetables, transfer it to the refrigerator for cool storage. The flavor will deepen and become even more delicious over time!
