    1/3   c            Pickled baby squid --

  1       sm           Octopus --
                       - cut into narrow strips
    1/3   c            Pickled baby shrimp -- chopped
    1/3   lb           Oysters
  1 1/2   lb           Beef brisket
  5       qt           Water or beef broth
  4       c            Coarse salt
                       Table salt
                       Sugar

 Trim off the tougher outer leaves of the celery cabbage and save
 them; cut each cabbage head into 2 to 4 sections lengthwise (see
 above recipe)

 Soak the cabbage sections and the radishes in a brine prepared with
 3 cups of salt and 4 qt water for 3 to 4 hours or until softened.
 Rinse with cold water.

 Halve the radishes, reserving 2 and make slit cuts up to 2/3 of the
 length from the bottom.

 Cut the pears into thin julienne strips.

 Cut the pickled fish and the fresh squid and octopus into 1-1/2"
 narrow strips.

 Cut the 2 remaining radishes into thin julienne; mix the radish
 strips with the red pepper paste. Then, add all the remaining
 vegetables, mushrooms, and chestnuts along with the octopus, squid,
 and pickled fish; mix well. Finally, toss the mixture with oysters
 and pear strips and season with salt. This is the stuffing.

 Pack the stuffing between the layers of the cabbage leaves; filling
 the slit-cuts on the radishes. Stack the stuffed cabbage and
 radishes in a crock; cover with the salted outer leaves
 (preliminaries). After 2 or 3 days, add a mixture of salt, pickled
 corvina juice, pickled baby shrimp juice, and beef broth, just
 enough to cover
