Tips:1. This is the recipe for four outer Chinese cabbage leaves that I found out, eat them within a week, and then make them fresh. If it is a cabbage leaf close to the core, add a few more leaves appropriately.
2. You can also put white radish, celery and other favorite vegetables;
3. Put the spicy dishes at the end and mix lightly;
4. Salted seafood released by Koreans, such as salted shrimp, salted squid, scallops, etc. I use fish sauce instead, you can also use shrimp sauce or hoisin sauce instead;
5. When the amount is large, ginger, garlic, apple or pear can be pureed with an electric mixer.
