Dried red chili peppers (washed, cut into fine strips) 25 g

White sugar 250 g

Aged vinegar 150 g

Sichuan pepper oil 1 g

Instructions

Steam the cabbage

Remove the stems from the napa cabbage and cut into 1-inch tall pieces (8 pieces total). Steam in a steamer until about 40% cooked. Wrap the pieces in a clean white cloth and squeeze out excess water, then unwrap to reveal drum-shaped pieces.

Sprinkle with chili strips

Wash the dried red chili peppers and cut them into fine strips. Sprinkle evenly over the drum-shaped cabbage pieces.

Pour the sauce

Combine the white sugar, aged vinegar, Sichuan pepper oil, and fine salt and stir well to make a sweet and sour dressing. Pour the dressing over the drum-shaped cabbage, let stand for 10 minutes, then serve.
