questions Cabbage and Jalapeño

My favorite Korean barbecue spot has a side dish that is cabbage and jalapeños based. Does anyone know what this is called? Or have a recipe for it?

If it's about white, and has umami/savory/MSG flavor, maybe 물김치/백김치 (kimchi without gochugaru).
If it's not kimchi like and soy sauce based, then it should be called 장아찌.
Or if it's only sour and sweet without umami, then probably just pickled vegetables, not neccessarily korean food. Called 피클(yes, "pickle") in Korea.

Yep definitely just pickled vegetables. Not even napa cabbage and pepper, thats cabbage and japlapeno.
Vinegar, sugar, and salt will suffice. I think Reddit will know better than Koreans in pickling.
