Perfect Kimchi
Ingredients
- 1 napa cabbage
- 1/2 cup coarse sea salt
- 1 daikon radish, julienned
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons fish sauce (or soy sauce for a vegetarian version)
- 2 tablespoons Korean red pepper flakes (gochugaru)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Steps
Step 1: Cut the napa cabbage into quarters lengthwise. Remove the core and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2: In a large bowl, sprinkle the cabbage with coarse sea salt, ensuring each piece is coated. Let it sit for 1-2 hours, tossing occasionally.
Step 3: Rinse the salted cabbage thoroughly under cold water to remove excess salt. Drain and squeeze out any excess water.
Step 4: In a separate bowl, combine the julienned daikon radish, chopped green onions, grated ginger, minced garlic, fish sauce (or soy sauce), Korean red pepper flakes (gochugaru), and sugar.
Step 5: Mix the radish mixture thoroughly, ensuring the flavors are well combined.
Step 6: Add the rinsed and drained cabbage to the radish mixture. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Step 7: Pack the Kimchi into a clean, airtight jar or container, pressing it down to remove air bubbles.
Step 8: Leave the jar at room temperature for 1-5 days, depending on your desired level of fermentation. Once fermented, refrigerate the Kimchi.
Enjoy Kimchi as a flavorful side dish or use it in various Korean recipes for an extra burst of taste!
