felipemaxim saysWhat does "preserved vegetable" means? Is it any kind of canned vegetable, like the mixture for russian salad, or are you refering to something more specific?

thecoffeesnob saysI used Tianjin preserved vegetables- it's essentially pickled cabbage. You can probably find it at an Asian grocer in a little jar.
