This is a Kim Chi recipe that I love. Most of the prep time is peeling the ginger and garlic. Usually makes about 3 large Mason Jars with a 5 pound head of Nappa Cabbage.

  2. 3-4large Carrots julienned
  3. 1/2of a Medium Daikon radish julienned
  4. 1/2 cupcourse Kosher Salt
  5. 2 BunchesGreen Onions, Green tops cut from White part

  8. 1 TablespoonFish Sauce
  9. 1/2 cupKorean Chilli Powder
  10. 4 TablespoonsWhite Miso Paste
  11. 4-6 inchlong Ginger Root peeled and chopped course

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the head of Nappa Cabbage into quarters and then slice it into 1 inch pieces. Julienne the carrot and Daikon. (I use the juienne blades on my mandolin)

  2. 2

    Add some of the salt to it. Mix and continue adding the rest of the salt as you're mixing. After mixing wait a bit until the cabbage starts to wilt.

  3. 3

    Add enough water to the veggies to cover. Let stand 1 and half to 2 hours or until the cabbage stalk (thickest part) begins to become softer.

  4. 4

    In the meantime, add the Garlic, Ginger, White Miso Paste, Fish Sauce, White parts of the Green Onions, Korean Chilli Powder and a splash of Unsweetened Apple Juice. Purée until the sauce becomes smooth. Add more juice as necessary.

  5. 5

    Once the cabbage is ready, strain using a large collinder. Once drained return cabbage to bowl. Add the sauce to the cabbage and mix as well as the Green Onions tops (cut into 1/2 inch pieces) Stir until completely mixed.

  6. 6

    Add mixture to jars but screw the lid down. You will need the lid loose to provide venting. Place jars at room temperature for 3 days, checking on them daily and poking them with a clean knife to allow the gases to escape. After 3 days enjoy and tighten lid. Keep refrigerated.
