Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Remove the outer leaves from the Napa cabbage. Cut the head into quarters and remove the tough core. Slice crosswise into 1 cm thick slices. Place in a colander, season with salt, and toss thoroughly.
  2. Place over a bowl and let sit, covered, until the cabbage is wilted, about 2 hours.

  3. In a large bowl, combine the vinegar and sugar; stir until completely dissolved. Add the chili paste, ginger, garlic, and green onions and stir. Rinse the salt off the cabbage, changing the water a couple of times.
  4. Drain thoroughly and add to the bowl with the dressing; toss well to coat evenly. Place in a sterilized glass jar and press the cabbage firmly into place; add enough water to cover.
  5. Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. The cabbage is spicy, and the longer it marinates, the spicier it becomes, so add chili paste to taste.
