1tablespoon salt(or 2% of the weight of the vegetables)
Steps
Cut the cabbage, onion, and apple (with peel) into thin slices with a knife or mandolin. Set aside one whole cabbage leaf.
Place the bowl on the scale and set the scale to zero.
Add all the vegetables to the bowl.
Weigh the vegetables and multiply the weight by 2%. This will give you the amount of salt (in grams) to add.
Sprinkle this amount of salt over the vegetables. Massage the mixture with your hands for 2 minutes to dissolve the salt and mix the ingredients.
Let it drain for 15 minutes. The vegetables will give up most of their water.
Transfer to the glass jar in small batches, compressing the cabbage by hand or with a packer. The liquid produced should submerge the cabbage.
Place the whole cabbage leaf on top of the vegetables to prevent small pieces from rising to the surface. Add the ViscoDisc insert over the cabbage leaf.
Let it stand at room temperature for 3 weeks.
Remove the insert and discard any cabbage pieces that float to the surface.
Enjoy!
