How to choose fresh cabbage
- Choose cabbages that are round, slightly dark green, feel heavy and firm when picked up, as these are the good ones.
- Do not buy cabbages that are flat or oval-shaped as they may be hollow and not firm.
- You should also avoid choosing cabbages that are light white in color as they may be old, tough, and fibrous.
- Do not buy those that have wilted leaves or are bruised and crushed on the outside.

How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
-
It is advisable to buy carrots that are of moderate size, straight and elongated towards the tail, with a smooth skin, firm to the touch, and slightly hard.
-
Choose carrots that have a deep, bright orange color, with fresh green tops still attached to the body.
-
Avoid selecting carrots with wilted or bruised tops, damaged bodies, leaking water, or dark spots. If you press them with your hand and they feel soft, do not buy them.

Prepare the vegetables
Peel the carrots and ginger, wash them clean, and cut them into strips.
Wash the cabbage and cut it lengthwise into bite-sized pieces, place it in a bowl, and massage the cabbage with 1 tablespoon of salt. Wait about 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with water 2 to 3 times.
Wash the chili peppers, peel the garlic, and finely chop both the garlic and chili.
Remove any wilted or yellowed parts of the Vietnamese coriander, wash it clean, and let it drain.
-
Mixing the cabbage mixture
Mix the cabbage and carrot evenly with 2 tablespoons of salt, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and 3 tablespoons of vinegar.
Then add ginger, garlic, and chili and mix well again.
Once all the ingredients are well combined, add the Vietnamese coriander and mix again to complete.
Tip: When mixing, do it gently and evenly from bottom to top, avoiding strong squeezing so that the cabbage does not release water and become mushy in the final product.
