Step by Step Method
Step 1
Chop the greens into 1/3 inch strips and, in a large bowl, toss them with the salt. Let the greens sit for 1 hour with a weight on top.
Step 2
Wash the greens well to rinse off some of the salt and remove dirt. Squeeze them very dry and stuff them into a very clean 1-pint jar with the garlic clove.
Step 3
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, red pepper flakes and stir just until sugar dissolves.
Step 4
Pour the brine over the greens until they are submerged completely.
Step 5
Cover with the lid, and let the greens sit on the countertop for 1 day. Move to the refrigerator, and let sit for 1 more day.
Step 6
Enjoy! Kept chilled, these greens will last at least a month.
