Suan Cai
Suan cai is a traditional Chinese cuisine, especially in Northern China. Generally, the cabbage is dipped into boiling water, and then put in a container with cold water with salt. This is accomplished by placing a heavy weight such as a large rock on the top of the cover of the container so that the Chinese cabbage inside the container can be fermented. Suan Cai is often cooked with pork. It is said to neutralize the grease of meat.
