Red Cabbage Kimchi
Red cabbage provides fiber and anthocyanins, while garlic, ginger, and fermentation deepen the flavor without sugar or starch. A small amount of fish sauce adds more umami, and lime keeps the acidity fresh. The result is a spicy chilled side with a low carbohydrate load.
Thinly shred red cabbage (400 g). Cut ginger (6 g) and garlic (10 g) into very thin matchsticks or chop them finely. Transfer everything to a large bowl, add fish sauce (5 g), lime juice with a little lime zest (15 g), salt (8 g), and paprika (1 g).
Mix the cabbage thoroughly with your hands and massage it for about 8 to 10 minutes so it softens and releases plenty of juice. Pack it tightly into a clean jar, pressing well so the vegetables stay under their own brine.
Close the jar and leave the red cabbage kimchi to ferment for 3 days at room temperature away from direct sunlight. Once the taste becomes bright, spicy, and pleasantly sour, move the jar to the refrigerator. Serve it chilled with meat, fish, eggs, or as a standalone side.
