This rest time is crucial in making the taste come together.Check its taste (spiciness, etc.) as you go. Recipe by dormouse62 cookpad.japan -

Flavour of Korea: Simple Homemade Kimchi Flavour of Korea: Simple Homemade Kimchi
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 cookpad.japan -

I learned how to make kimchi from 2 Korean friends. 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.) cookpad.japan -

How To Make Vegan Kimchi 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 Daniel Lim
