Time P1DT4h50m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 head napa cabbage
3 tablespoons salt
water to cover
1 cup water
1 cup thinly grated white (daikon) radish
2 green onions, sliced diagonally into thin strips
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 slices fresh ginger
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon white vinegar
3 pinches dried Korean red pepper threads

Steps:

  • Cut cabbage lengthwise into quarters, keeping the leaves attached to the core. Rinse cabbage with cold water and liberally sprinkle 3 tablespoons salt between the leaves. Place cabbage in a large bowl and add just enough water to cover. Set aside until leaves are soft, 4 to 5 hours.
  • Rinse the salted cabbage 3 or 4 times with cold water and drain in a colander for about 20 minutes.
  • Combine 1 cup water, radish, green onions, garlic, ginger, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, vinegar, and red pepper threads in a bowl. Sprinkle radish mixture between all the cabbage leaves except for the large outer leaf of each quarter. Reserve the liquid from the radish mixture.
  • Peel back the large outer leaf of each quarter, without removing it from the core, and fold the inner leaves in half. Wrap the outer leaf around the inner leaves and pack the cabbage quarters into a clean 1/2-gallon jar; pour in the reserved liquid from radish mixture. Seal jars and let sit at room temperature for 1 day. Slice the wrapped cabbage quarters into 1 1/2-inch pieces.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage. Napa cabbage is the traditional choice for kimchi, but you can also use other types of cabbage, such as green cabbage or Savoy cabbage. Just make sure the cabbage is fresh and crisp.
  • Wash the cabbage thoroughly. This will help to remove any dirt or bacteria. You can wash the cabbage whole or cut it into quarters first.
  • Salt the cabbage. This will help to draw out the moisture from the cabbage and make it more tender. You can salt the cabbage in a large bowl or in a resealable plastic bag.
  • Make the kimchi paste. There are many different recipes for kimchi paste, but they all typically include ingredients like gochugaru (Korean chili powder), garlic, ginger, and jeotgal (fermented seafood). You can also add other ingredients, such as vegetables, fruits, or nuts.
  • Mix the kimchi paste with the cabbage. Once the cabbage has been salted and drained, it is time to mix it with the kimchi paste. Be sure to mix the paste thoroughly so that all of the cabbage is coated.
  • Ferment the kimchi. The fermentation process is what gives kimchi its characteristic sour flavor. You can ferment kimchi at room temperature or in a cool place, such as a refrigerator. The fermentation process can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months.

Conclusion:

Kimchi is a delicious and healthy fermented food that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you are looking for a spicy side dish or a flavorful addition to your favorite recipes, kimchi is a great option. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make your own kimchi at home.
