  2. Set your oven to 100 degrees and sanitise your glass jar. 
  3. In a food processor, blend the onion, apple garlic and ginger into a paste. Mix in the sugar, rice flour and gochutgaru flakes. 
  4. Finely slice your carrots into julienne slices. 
  5. Drain the cabbage water created by the salt.

  8. In a sanitised jar, pack the vegetable mix densely and use the saved cabbage leaf on top to weigh down the mix.
