    How to Prepare Easy 30 Minute Sauerkraut [Vegan]

    1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage with the seasalt. Massage the cabbage and sea salt for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cabbage starts to break down and release liquid. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let it sit for 15 minutes to allow more liquid to release.
    2. After 15 minutes, add your spices or herbs of choice to the cabbage and use your hands to mix it well.
    3. Pack the cabbage tightly into a clean half-gallon (1.9-L) jar, using your fist or a wooden tamper, leaving 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) of headspace from the top of the vessel. All the cabbage should be submerged in liquid. If there is not enough liquid, add just enough water to submerge everything.
    4. Use a ceramic or glass fermenting weight (or other creative, nonmetal weight) to keep the cabbage submerged in liquid. Cover the jar loosely with a lid. Or, if you are using an airlock lid, add water into the airlock chamber and secure the lid onto the jar. Let it ferment in a dark spot (out of direct sunlight) at room temperature for a minimum of 5 days, then taste every 2 days to reach the desired flavor. Kraut can ferment for up to 30 days for a sourer flavor. Transfer into the refrigerator to store for 6 to 12 months.
