Notes
To squeeze the sauerkraut, drain it first in a colander or strainer. Then layer 3 or 4 paper towels, and transfer the sauerkraut onto them. Pick up the paper towels in a bundle and gently squeeze the sauerkraut over the sink, so that there's less liquid but it's not totally dry.
What kind of corned beef? I used leftover corned beef from my slow cooker corned beef and cabbage recipe for the photo shoot and video. You can also grab a pound of sliced corned beef at the deli counter of your grocer if you don't have any leftovers.
