RE: Making a small batch of Kimchi. Does anyone else love it?

in #appics5 years ago

This is what I need for my gut...I have been buying canned sauerkraut but fresh home made fermented food I know is better.

Maybe you could pass along your recipe for this Korean Kimchi?

Sort:  

I will make a note to remind me to get it out for you. ;-)

Makes about 8 pounds of Kimchi

5- 6 pounds napa (Chinese) cabbage
½ cup coarse sea salt

1- Rinse Cabbage, chop into large chunks. Place into a large bowl creating layers by sprinkling liberally with the coarse sea salt in between. Continue and cover with cold water. Keep soaking for 2 hours. Drain and rinse well.

  1. Chop cabbage into bite-size pieces and begin adding your veggies and seasonings. Mix well and sit on the counter to ferment for 2 days before putting into the fridge. Enjoy.

Vegetables:
2 cups radish matchsticks (I use Daikon radish)
1 cup carrot matchsticks
7 to 8 green onions, chopped

Seasonings and spices:
1/2 cup garlic cloves minced
2 teaspoon ginger, minced (optional)
1 medium onion, minced (optional)
1/2 cup fish sauce
1/2 cup rice vinegar
2 cups hot pepper flakes - I use Korean pepper flakes. You could use red pepper paste too.
2 T. Sugar

Have fun Mike

OMG thank you ... I'll cut that 8 lbs down a bit thou .... :-)
