Prepare the Kraut
Finely shred the green cabbage and grate the carrot. In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, carrot, salt, and caraway seeds. Mix well and let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the cabbage to release some moisture.

Ferment the Kraut
Add the apple cider vinegar and sugar to the cabbage mixture. Mix thoroughly and place in a clean jar or container. Press down firmly to pack it tightly. Leave it at room temperature for 1-2 days to ferment, then store in the refrigerator.
