Cooking Instructions

1.5 hours
  1. 1

    Rinse and chop chives to your liking, preferably 5cm each. Set aside

  4. 4

    Lightly wash cabbage to rinse excess salt away

  5. 5

    Mix cabbage with chives well

  6. 6

    Mix all the other ingredients (spices) to make a red paste

  7. 7

    Put all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Mix well with hand (use gloves to prevent the sting of the chili)

  8. 8

    Put in a kimchi container (new container to avoid unnecessary odor or fumes)

  9. 9

    Press kimchi with a spoon until it's firm and very little to none air bubbles trapped inbetween cabbages to make a good fermentation base

  10. 10

    Keep in the fridge for minimum of 24h

  11. 11

    Kimchi can be consumed fresh and fermented, preferably with hot rice
