Yes, you wash them with hot water and salt two or three times then leave them to ferment for a week or two in the last batch if salt water with horseraddish, parsley root and maybe a pepper if you like them a bit spicy (not kimchi spicy). This is the proper way to do it, as opposed to using vinegar.
