Instructions

  1. Step 1: Place 2 cups shredded cabbage in a bowl, then add 1 tbsp grated ginger and 1/2 tsp sea salt; massage vigorously for 2 minutes until cabbage softens and releases liquid.
  2. Step 2: Stir in 2 tbsp lemon juice and 1 tsp olive oil, then let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to ferment, stirring once halfway.
  3. Step 3: Just before serving, toss with 1 tbsp chopped cilantro until evenly distributed and flavors meld, with cabbage crisp-tender and slightly tangy.
