Yes, some like to cook soup or braised dishes wif it. It is oso used to do the 咸菜.

There is juz a very mild bitterness. Those who are sensitive to it, will not like it.

It is called Dua Tau Cai in Hokkien, 大头菜. Is a very nutritious veggy. Has Vit A, C, K, Folate and Manganese. It also contains Vit E and Calcium.

For pickled cucumbers or papaya I find that thicker slice will be more crunchy, I also add in 2-3 whole garlic... Not sure whether it made any difference to the taste but I also got eat the garlic. U sue what type of vinegar? I prefer apple cider

For papaya, i actually do not thick slices. But before I brine them, i will apply salt over the slices, let it sit for a while and sweat out the excess moisture. Then later on squeeze the slices to get even more moisture out. Wif the excess moisture out, the slices will be crunchy.

For cucumber, i learned fr a korean fren to soak the cucumber in hot salted water 1st. Then wash off and pickled (or do cucumber kimchi). The crunch can last longer

I dun add garlic. Usu i add chilli padi. Or for tomatos, i add sour plum.

Vinegar i juz use natural rice vinegar
