Tsukemono with Shiso

(adapted from justonecookbook.com)

Ingredients:

• ½ a head of cabbage, chopped into 1” pieces
• 2 small shiso leaves, julienned
• 2 baby carrots, cut into matchsticks
• 1 tsp. salt (I used table salt)

Order of Operations:

1. Add the cabbage, shiso leaves and carrots to a gallon ziptop bag.
2. Sprinkle with 1 tsp. of salt and massage the salt into the vegetables.
3. Squeeze the air out of the zip top bag and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.

That’s it, only easy!
