- 4 each garlic bulb
- 3 tablespoons monosodium glutamate
- 1 pound carrots
- 2 bunches scallions, spring or green onions
- 1 large napa (Chinese) cabbage
- 2 small cabbage
- 1 1/2 tablespoons paprika
- 20 large green bell peppers
- Clean the kitchen sink as this is where you will be working.
- Cut the regular cabbage into 2 to 3 inch pieces.
- Place the cabbage in the sink and add the salt.
- Work in the salt using a kneading motion, until the cabbage is broken up.
- The Chinese cabbage should now be cut up and added; no kneading required.

- Shred the carrots, with a potato peeler or a fine food processor shredder.
- Cut the green onions into 2 inch pieces, using all of the onions.
- Cut the green peppers into 1/2 inch lengths.
- Grind up the red pepper and the garlic heads in a blender.
- Blend the garlic into the mixture one clove at a time, using 3 to 4 heads, depending on the size of the heads.
- Mix the ground up garlic and red pepper mixture, paprika, garlic salt and sugar.
- Blend this mixture into the cabbage.
- Mix well until all of the Chinese cabbage is tinted red.
- Add small amounts of water as you mix to keep the cabbage moist.
- Taste and add more salt if necessary, about 1 tablespoon at a time; add more garlic salt instead if more garlic is also needed.
- Add about 3/4 cup of water; press into a 1 gallon jug, glass is best.
- Leave outside refrigeration for 48 to 72 hours.
