Japanese-Style Pickled Cabbage
Japanese-style pickled cabbage, also known as "hakusai no sokusekizuke" in Japanese, is a type of tsukemono or Japanese pickle made from fresh cabbage that has been pickled in salt and vinegar. This style of pickling is unique in that it uses a special pickling technique that shortens the pickling time to only a few hours, resulting in a crunchy, tangy and refreshing side dish that's perfect for a hot summer day.Japanese-style pickled cabbage is a low-calorie and low-fat food that's high in vitamins C and K, as well as dietary fiber. It also has anti-inflammatory properties and may help improve digestion due to its probiotic content that helps to promote healthy bacteria in the gut. Additionally, the vinegar used in the pickling process has been shown to have a blood sugar-lowering effect, making it a good choice for those with diabetes or pre-diabetes.
