- In a medium saucepan, combine turmeric with 1.5 cups water. Bring to a boil over medium heat; simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a heatproof container.

- In a medium saucepan, combine the cabbage with 2.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat; simmer for 20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then strain half of the liquid into a heatproof container and stir in the baking soda and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.
