["Quarter cabbage lengthwise. Cut out and discard core at base of each quarter, then slice cabbage crosswise into 2 1/2-in. pieces. Put cabbage in a large bowl, cover with water, and let sit for a minute.", "Drain cabbage and return to bowl. Add the daikon radish, sprinkle with salt, and toss with your hands to coat thoroughly.", "Press down on vegetables to compact them; let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes. Stir to redistribute the salt and let vegetables sit uncovered at room temperature, 5 to 6 hours (no need to stir again).", "Put vegetables in a large bowl of cold water and swish to rinse, then drain and repeat until it is as salty as you like. ""I change the water up to three times, tasting as I go to gauge saltiness. The thickest part of the cabbage won't taste salty and will have crunch, but the leafy part will be wilted and you'll taste a little salt.""
