Pickled Chinese Cabbage: How to make it & how to cook with it

My mother-in-law teaches me (and you) how to pickle Chinese cabbage. I'm also sharing a few ways that we cook with it. Pickled Chinese cabbage has been an important food in this area of China (Qinghai) for many generations (at least!). It was long one of the few veggies that the villagers could keep over winter, and it added it's wonderful flavour to the local dishes. I have personally come to love it, and it is very similar to what we in Sweden call "surkål" - also pickled cabbage (but not with the combination of ginger/chili/Sichuan pepper).

› HOW I ACCESS TH-cam IN CHINA:
The VPN I'm using to access all the western websites from China (such as Facebook, TH-cam and Instagram) is ExpressVPN. You can get it here: www.xvinlink.com?a_fid=miriaminchina
I have used since 2015, and so far I am very satisfied. During certain times of the year, I struggle to get on it - but the great thing about ExpressVPN is that their customer service is always available through their live chat, and they always try to help me if I encounter any problems.

My name is Miriam Follin. I’m a Swedish woman who has been living and traveling in China since 2015. 2017 I married and began living with my husband in his hometown in north western China. On this channel I share videos on life, culture and food in rural Qinghai, and sometimes little videos from other parts of China or from Sweden.
