Pao cai

Pao cai

"Pao cai" is a type of pickle, usually pickled cabbage, often found in Chinese, and particularly Sichuanese 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.

Chinese "pao cai" closely resembles Korean kimchi (which is usually called "Han Guo "pao cai" in Chinese), both in content and in preparation, but it tends to be sweet and sour rather than spicy. It is often eaten with congee as a breakfast food.

The flavor and mode of production of "pao cai" vary greatly across China.
