Pao cai


Pao cai is a type of pickle, usually made using cabbage, mustard stems, long beans, peppers, daikon, carrots, and ginger, often found in Chinese, and particularly Sichuan cuisine. It is most common to northern and western China; however, there is also a unique form of pao cai, called suan cai, which is prominent in Northeast China. It is often eaten with congee as a breakfast food.
