In a large bowl, add cabbage and pour the brine over until cabbage is completely covered. Transfer cabbage and brine into an airtight jar and store in the refrigerator

Additional Comments
Peanut sauce can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Will need slight heating before use.
Use pickled cabbage already prepared in the fridge.
