This Umeboshi braised Peanut Cabbage is the quickest, most delicious and zingiest dish you can serve today! Umeboshi’s tangy and slightly citric note will lift your cabbage to a whole new level!

Do you love Umeboshi? As many things before, I didn’t. It came to my knowledge when I was pregnant and feeling nauseated all the time. And I mean, all day every day, from day one until the day my son was born. So someone said, did you try Umeboshi paste? What on Earth is that, said I? OK, I didn’t even ask that because I was feeling so… ugh. So I just said, just gimme that, whatever that is! So my husband had to rush in utmost emergency, like it always is when pregnant spouse demands, and brought me a little package of that.

When he came home, and I was all needles and pins, I opened it, took a quick turn with my nose and said, uhm, no. And he, as loveable as he always is, just shrugged his shoulders and said, OK, maybe some other day.

So this poor Umeboshi paste package waited in my pantry for a long time. Luckily, it has a looong expiration date, and one day, when I was rummaging through the pantry, I found it. Woohoa! What is that? Well. That was a real treasure to find, I tell you! I opened it for the second time and was surprised by its zingy hit on my nose, and this time, my nose loved it!

So what am I to do with it? What is that stuff anyway? Well, I learned that Umeboshi paste, unlike everyone said, is not made of pickled plums, rather apricots. It’s a Japanese invention: Ume apricots are fermented with sea salt and make a great condiment for your sauces, salads, soups and many more.

And that’s not the end of it. Umeboshi is a real superfood with many health benefits: calms down indigestion problems, morning and motion sickness, fatigue and has antibiotic and antiseptic quality.
