Korean Kimchi from the Source
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
Just when I was thinking "I want to make my own authentic kimchi!" I had a chance to learn how to do so from a Korean friend. Since then, I've been experimenting and researching the method (while receiving feedback) to come up with this recipe.
The salt-preserving and draining stages for the Chinese cabbage are important!
Make sure to protect your hands with gloves when handling the red chili pepper!
The ingredient amounts are simply guidelines. They will vary depending on the size of the cabbage and how salty it is, so adjust as you go. Recipe by yonayuna

- 1
Wash the Chinese cabbage, make cuts in the stem end and rip into half with your hands. Rip into half again to end up with 4 quarters.
- 2
Make a high concentrate salt water in a large tub or bowl, and completely immerse the Chinese cabbage in it. Leave to soak so that the salt water penetrates to the core.
- 3
When the leaves have become wilted, take the cabbage out and drain it off. Peeling back the leaves one by one, sprinkle in some salt, concentrating on the cores.
- 4
Line the salted cabbage quarters in a pickling tub, add a weight and leave to pickle for 1/2 to 1 whole day or so. Turn it over occasionally so that it cures evenly.
- 5
When the salt-pickled cabbage is done, rinse it well under running water. It should taste a bit salty.
- 6
Put the cabbage on a sieve or colander and leave to drain and dry for 3 to 4 hours.
- 7
When the salted cabbage is done, make the yangnyeom (kimchi base). Prepare each ingredient.
- 8
Cut the daikon radish into 3 to 4 mm wide sticks. Cut the green onion into 4 cm long pieces. Grate the ginger, garlic, onion and apple.
- 9
In Step 8, chop up the ginger and garlic and then purée it in the food processor.
- 10
Put the rice and water in a food processor, and process until it forms a gluey paste. Adjust the amount of water depending on the consistency of the rice.
- 11
From this point on, be sure to work with rubber gloves!! Ideally use ones that have long sleeves. Otherwise, regular rubber gloves are fine.
- 12
Put all the ingredients in a bowl (leave out the salted cabbage out) and mix together well with your hands.
- 13
When it looks like this it's all good (This is the yangnyeom.)
- 14
Peel off the dried salted Chinese cabbage leaves, and spread each one with a little yangnyeom. Take special care to put plenty of yangnyeom on the cores.
- 15
Wrap the cabbage leaves around each other with the core in the center, and it's done! Put into a sealed ziplock bag or similar, and put the bag into a sealed container and store in the refrigerator. Take out however much you'd like to enjoy each time.
- 16
If you want to easily make a small amount, mix salted and dried Chinese cabbage that's been cut up into easy to eat pieces with yangnyeom. This is even easier.

Each version tasted different, so I combined the best of both to come up with my own version.Brine the Chinese cabbage in salt properly beforehand.The ingredients will keep for more than a month in the refrigerator, so even if you don't use them all up in one batch, if you make another batch before the previous one is eaten up you can alway enjoy delicious kimchi.Dice some daikon radish, salt it for a little while, and mix with these ingredients to make ggakdugi pickles. Great for kimchi hot pots! Recipe by takaya. (This recipe uses 2 heads of Chinese cabbage.)

I love kimchi! But it's so expensive! This is a recipe I came up with after buying lots of different kinds of kimchi, tasting them, and then comparing the ingredients on the package. It got the approval of my Korean friends.This is a basic recipe that uses salt-fermented shrimp paste (or nam pla fish sauce.) Not soaking the Chinese cabbage properly will make the kimchi too salty. Consume it within 1 month. Feel free to add kombu seaweed to the recipe to taste. Recipe by LazyHata
Our Homemade Authentic Kimchi
I searched for recipes online with the purpose of prepping kimchi with the simplest ingredients possible. I went through lots of trial and error over the years by adjusting the quantity of the ingredients.Make sure to squeeze out any excess liquid from the cabbage after fermenting.When making the yangnyeom sauce, add in the A) ingredients only after having mixed well and rested for 30 minutes. This rest time is crucial in making the taste come together.Check its taste (spiciness, etc.) as you go. Recipe by dormouse62

Công thức kimchi đơn giản của mình
Mình cực kì thích kimchi, mình có thể ăn kèm kimchi trong mỗi bữa ăn luôn ấy. Kimchi mua ở ngoài lại rất đắt, chi phí để làm kimchi tại nhà cũng không quá đắt nên nếu chịu khó làm một buổi là có thể dùng gần cả tháng ấy. Mình làm kimchi cũng nhiều lần rồi nhưng đây là công thức mà mình hay dùng nhất!Thời gian ngâm cải thảo với nước muối mình tính cả vào thời gian nấu luôn nhé!Cả nhà chuẩn bị hộp to có nắp đậy kín để đựng kimchi nhé, để tránh kimchi quá chua, mỗi tuần mình mở hộp để lấy ra một phần để dùng. Tránh mở hộp thường xuyên.Tuỳ vào nhiệt độ mà kimchi sẽ lên men nhanh hay chậm nên mình có thể gia giảm lượng bột gạo sao cho phù hợp nhé mọi người. Nhiều bột gạo quá sẽ lên men rất nhanh!

I developed this recipe because of my shellfish allergy. It features subs for the fermented shrimp, and I've found that the flavor tastes very similar to what I ate when I was in South Korea. I will add more pictures when I make it again.
Homemade Radish Kimchi
If you love kimchi but want something extra crunchy, Radish Kimchi (Kkakdugi, 깍두기) is a great choice!

The best part? It gets better with time! Enjoy!

How To Make Vegan Kimchi
#MyCookbookTo be honest, I have never really tried Korean cuisine, even tho my eldest daughter is a huge Korean fan. Yes, she watches Korean drama and idolizes K-Pop groups. When she heard that I will make some Korean dishes for the month of October, she jumped with joy. So, what made me decided to make some Korean recipes?I received a jar of Korean chili sauce from @chillibellasg and I thought this would be a great chance for me to explore uncharted territory: Korean cuisine. What better way to kickstart this series than this humble vegan kimchi? Making kimchi really does takes a bit of time and effort, but, I guarantee, the end results will make all that sweat worthwhile.If you are wondering what kinda recipes go well with kimchi, you can check out @IzzyPreps website. I still dream of her Kimchi Grilled Cheese Sandwich.#lactofermentation
Cucumber Kimchi
Generally speaking, cucumber kimchi does not hold up texturally as well as Napa cabbage kimchi, and you'll find that it begins to go soggy more quickly. Best to make a smaller batch (you can halve this recipe) if you don't think you can eat it within 2 to 3 weeks because there just aren't as many good uses for overripe cucumber kimchi as with the Napa cabbage kind.A common question:HOW RIPE DOES THE KIMCHI HAVE TO BE BEFORE I REFRIGERATE/EAT IT?You can eat the kimchi whenever you want. Fresh, just after it's been made, all the way up to when it's so incredibly old, ripe and stinky you could choke out a subway system by placing an open jar in one of the vents. It remains safe for human consumption for A VERY LONG TIME.But as to when to refrigerate, just go out once a day every day to taste a piece, and when it gets to the ripeness you like, stick it in the fridge. It'll continue to ripen, but slowly.P.S. Yes, you do see a few pieces of turnip in there. I think I had one or two that needed to be used up on the day I made this batch. ;)

Kkakdugi (Cubed Radish Kimchi)
When kimchi was not available at supermarkets (about 25 years ago) I was taught how to make these pickles by a Japanese-Korean friend. Using juicy winter daikon radish, I could make tasty kkakduki.Compared to Japanese chili, Korean chili is sweeter. Usually kkakduki is made with finely powdered chili. You can use it for making hot pots or other dishes, so freeze it until needed. Recipe by kebeibiko
Easy Kimchi Soup
I made this because I had only a bite of kimchi left!Use piping hot water.This is a light soup that cleanses the palate. If you prefer a stronger flavor, add more kimchi.I typically place the mixture in bowls when setting the table, then pour in the hot water when we are ready to eat. Recipe by Team yokin
