My Cambodian friends mother use to make this all the time. It's really yummy!
I love Cambodian fermented Cabbage with pig ears/feets.

[@Hamter342]

Why not let the pig ears ferment with the veggies taste better

I made this dish over the weekend following your recipe. It was sour but the cabbage and chives were very soggy and not crunchy at all. What did I do wrong?

[@Khon-Lao-Thai]

It's soggy and not crunchy because her method is like that. She's kneading the vegetables too much until it lose It's crunch. If you want crunchy, don't knead it too much. I have never seen anyone make her way before. I like it crunchy myself

[@jetphabmixay2918]

@@Khon-Lao-Thai I made a second batch recently and it turned out perfect. Less kneading and this time I’ve also strained out using only the rice water. Thanks for the tip sis!

[@suebowman7258]

@@jetphabmixay2918 Thank you. I will try it. I like crunchy

[@tiffanypho2006]

​@summerbertram7522 same here! I have never seen anyone knead cabbage as much as she does in this video. I like mine crunchy so we don't even knead at all and just toss. I was actually getting by her kneading it so much, I was thinking she should just thum it or blend it at that point 😅

[@tene84]

If u want your cabbage to be crunchy soak with salt and sugar for 30 minutes and boil steam rice 1 hand full and use the rice broths only after down guarantee it will be crunchy. Seal your container tightly tho

You're so welcome! and thank you so much for your always encouraging comments, I really appreciate it ❤

[@paxiong6541]

Can we use pink sea salt instead of regular salt? Btw, those thinly sliced pig ears can be sun dry in the hot sun and deep fry for a delicious pork crackling.

[@auntiedeeskitchen7575]

Yes you can
