We made this recipe out of a combination of desperation and frugality. I was going to purchase some Sauerkraut to add to the Vegan Reuben but could not find any or the one I did find was so expensive I just couldn't justify it. So we made a quick style version of this classic and it turned out great. If you have the time, space and equipment, you should go for the fermented version but if you're in a pinch like we were, this Quick Sauerkraut Recipe is delicious and easy to make.
Place the water, vinegar, and salt in a pot and bring to aboil.
Add the cabbage to the water, reduce heat to a low simmer, and cover (if bottom of pan starts to brown, add 1/4 cup more water). Cook until the cabbage is tender, about 30 minutes.
