I love making pan-fried chicken drumlettes with kimchi or adding kimchi to Korean style pancake for that rich flavor. This is a very simple version that is easy to make which I enjoyed tremendously

Ingredients

  1. 1napa cabbage (about 2 pounds)
  2. 1/4 cupsea salt
  3. Water
  4. 6 clovesgrated garlic
  5. About 2 tsp of grated garlic
  6. 1 tspsugar
  7. 2 tbspfish sauce
  8. 3 tbspKorean Red pepper flakes (gochugaru) see pic below
  9. 5-6 stalkscut up scallion
  10. 8 ozdaikon or carrots grated

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut up the cabbage into strips (I like it cut to smaller pieces) so when I enjoy the kimchi, I don't have to make them smaller

  2. 2

    Add salt to the cut cabbage and massage the salt over the cabbage for about 5 minutes. Then add water to cover the cabbage and let it sit for about an hour

  3. 3

    Get rid of the salt water and drain the caggabe with cold water about 3x in a colander. Use filtered water as the cabbage will be fermented without cooking.

  4. 4

    Get rid of excess water and in a large bowl, mix the cabbage with all the ingredients mentioned on the ingredient list above.

  5. 5

    If you notice too much water, remove it and add in the scallions and daikon or carrots

  6. 6

    Mix everything thoroughly and the kimchi can be stored in jars or containers. Let the newly fermented kimchi sit for about 5 days before eating.
