Step 1
Trim ends of cabbage and chop any way you want - thin or thick strips is fine. Chop the daikon radish and scallions as well.
Step 2
Add the salt to the vegetables and mix thoroughly. Let sit for an hour or two. The salt will draw out the water.
Step 3
In a food processor, blend the garlic, ginger and chili flakes into a paste.
Step 4
Thoroughly mix the cabbage, radish, scallions and optional fish sauce with the paste in a bowl
Step 5
Pack mixture into glass mason jars with some sort of kitchen tool with a blunted end.
Step 6
Press the mixture firmly into jars until the water level starts rising.
Step 7
Put the lids on and leave the jars at room temperature for 2-7 days. Open the lids every day to release the gasses that form as a byproduct of fermentation. If the water level rises, drain some off. If the vegetables rise above the level of the water, pack them back under the water.
