Kimchi Kitchen: A Step-by-Step Guide to Homemade Fermentation

How we make kimchi

Here's a basic recipe for making traditional Napa cabbage kimchi. Keep in mind that kimchi recipes can vary, and you can adjust the ingredients according to your taste preferences. This recipe makes about 1 gallon of kimchi.

Ingredients:

• 1 medium-sized Napa cabbage
• 1/2 cup sea salt (for brining)
• 3-4 cups water (for brining)
• 1 tablespoon grated ginger
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 3 tablespoons fish sauce
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1-2 teaspoons Korean red pepper flakes, adjust to taste
• 3-4 green onions, chopped
• 1 medium-sized carrot, julienned
• Optional: 1 daikon radish, julienned

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cabbage:

   • Cut the Napa cabbage in half lengthwise, and then cut each half into thirds. Soak the cabbage pieces in a brine made with 1/2 cup sea salt dissolved in 3-4 cups of water. Ensure that the cabbage is fully submerged. Let it soak for about 1-2 hours, turning occasionally.

2. Rinse and Drain:

   • After the cabbage has soaked, rinse it thoroughly under cold water to remove excess salt. Drain well.

3. Prepare the Kimchi Paste:

   • In a bowl, combine grated ginger, minced garlic, sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, and Korean red pepper flakes. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to achieve your desired level of spiciness.

4. Mix Vegetables:

   • Add chopped green onions, julienned carrots, and daikon radish (if using) to the kimchi paste. Mix well to coat the vegetables evenly.

5. Coat the Cabbage:

   • Take each cabbage leaf and spread a generous amount of the kimchi paste mixture between the leaves, ensuring each leaf is coated. Repeat for all cabbage pieces.

6. Pack in a Jar:

   • Pack the coated cabbage tightly into a clean, large glass jar or airtight container. Leave some space at the top.

7. Fermentation:

   • Leave the jar at room temperature for 1-5 days, depending on your desired level of fermentation. Check the kimchi daily and press it down to keep the vegetables submerged in the liquid that will form.

8. Refrigerate:

   • Once the kimchi reaches the desired level of fermentation, move the jar to the refrigerator. The cold will slow down the fermentation process.

9. Serve:

• Kimchi is ready to eat! Enjoy it as a side dish, in sandwiches, soups, or stir-fries.
