1. Take off the outermost leaves from the napa cabbages that are dirty and wilted. With a knife, cut the head down the middle for about 2 inches and separate the rest of cabbages in half with your hands. Fill the big bowl with cold water, and wash the cabbages while separating each layer carefully. Wash in between the leaves thoroughly to rid of all the dirt hidden within the leaves.
2. Once the leaves are clean, drain well, chop the leaves in one-inch widths and put them in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle salt evenly - about 1 tsp of salt to a hand full of cabbage, in layers until all the cabbage pieces are mixed in salt. Cover loosely, and store the cabbage in a cool place overnight - or for at least 5 hours.
3. There will be a little bit of liquid formed in the bottom of the bowl when the leaves get marinated in salt. Mix the cabbage mixture and then, rinse under cold water to taste. If it's salty enough, then, you are ready to proceed but if it's not, then, add more salt, one teaspoon at a time. If you add more salt, wait another a couple of hours, and then, taste again. If it's too salty, rinse the cabbages before adding the rest of the ingredients.
4. If you are happy how salty it is, then, you are ready to add the rest of the ingredients.

1. Cut the thick white part of the cabbage lengthwise in half. Then, slowly pull apart by hand to separate into two pieces. Do the same for each half to make quarters. Running the knife through all the way would unnecessarily cut off the cabbage leaves.
2. In a large bowl, dissolve 1/2 cup of salt in 5 cups of water. Thoroughly bathe each cabbage quarter in the salt water one at a time, shake off excess water back into the bowl, and then transfer to another bowl.
3. Using the other half cup of salt and starting from the outermost leaf, generously sprinkle salt over the thick white part of each leaf (similar to salting a piece of meat). Try to salt all the cabbage quarters with 1/2 cup salt, but you can use a little more if needed. Repeat with the rest of the cabbage quarters. Pour the remaining salt water from the first bowl over the cabbage. Set aside for about 6 - 8 hours, rotating the bottom ones to the top every 2 - 3 hours.
4. The cabbages should be ready to be washed when the white parts of the leaves are easily bendable. Rinse thoroughly 3 times, especially between the white parts. Drain well, cut side down.

1. Prepare and salt the cabbage:If the cabbage cores stick out too much, trim them off.
2. To split a cabbage in half without shredding the densely packed leaves inside, first cut a short slit in the base of the cabbage, enough to get a grip on either half, and then gently pull the halves apart so the cabbage splits open.
3. Cut a slit through the core of each half, 2 inches above the stem. You want the cabbage leaves to be loose but still attached to the core.
4. Dunk the halves in a large basin of water to get them wet. Sprinkle the salt between the leaves by lifting up every leaf and getting salt in there. Use more salt closer to the stems, where the leaves are thicker.
