All pickled cabbage in Northeast China is pickled in large vats. I don't have the conditions now, so I can only pickle one tree and try it.
Authentic Northeast Chinese cabbage does not need to be boiled. I don't know where I saw it, so I tried it and the results were good, and it was pickled successfully.
I think the boiled stems might be easy to pickle.
