Kimchi

There is nothing as tasty as homemade kimchi. You really can't go wrong with this easy to make spicy pickled cabbage (the national dish of Korea). A special thanks to Joyce who kindly shared her recipe with me! 

Ingredients: 

  • Prep time: 2 hours

  • 2 Napa cabbages

  • half cup Korean Gochugaru pepper (course ground is my favorite)

  • 1 teaspoon Salted shrimp

  • half cup chopped ginger

  • half cup chopped garlic cloves

  • 5 green onions sliced, and chopped every 4 inches

  • 1 cup fish sauce

Directions: 

  1. Quarter cabbage (it's best to cut the base in half, and pull apart, then do the same when you quarter it)

  2. Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl.

  3. Generously layer the mixture between each cabbage leaf.

  4. Roll the cabbage and place in air tight container.

  5. Let the cabbage sit for 3 days in room temperature

  6. Open lid to release gas and refrigerate.

  7. Enjoy!
