METHOD Cut cabbage in half lengthwise, removing discolored and loose outer leaves. Cut bottom off to separate all the leaves. Toss cabbage with kosher salt and refrigerate in bowl overnight. Combine paste ingredients in a food processor and pulse until mixture is creamy and smooth. Drain the cabbage and mix well with the chili paste. Toss in garlic chives and daikon. Let sit at least 24 hours before eating. (Best at two weeks.)
