Pao cai (Chinese: 泡菜; pinyin: pàocài) is a type of pickle, usually pickled cabbage, often found in Chinese, and particularly Szechuan cuisine. It is most common to northern and western China; however, there is also a unique form of pao cai, called suan cai, which is prominent in Northeast China.[1] It is often eaten with congee as a breakfast food.
The flavor and mode of production of pao cai vary greatly across China.
