Ingredients 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 large Napa cabbage cut into quarters
  • ¼ cup Salt for salting the cabbage
  • 1 cup Korean red pepper flakes (gochugaru)
  • 5 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger grated
  • 2 tablespoon Fish sauce
  • 1 bunch Green onions chopped
  • 1 medium Carrot julienned

Instructions 

  1. 1. Cut the cabbage into quarters and remove the core. Cut each quarter into 2-inch wide strips.
  2. 2. Place the cabbage in a large bowl and sprinkle with salt. Toss to combine and let sit for 1-2 hours, tossing occasionally.
  3. 3. Rinse the cabbage under cold water to remove excess salt. Drain well and set aside.
  4. 4. In a separate bowl, combine the gochugaru, garlic, ginger, fish sauce, green onions, and carrot. Mix well to form a paste.
  5. 5. Wearing gloves, add the paste to the cabbage and mix thoroughly, ensuring all the cabbage pieces are coated.
  6. 6. Pack the kimchi tightly into a jar, pressing down to remove air bubbles. Leave some space at the top for expansion.
  7. 7. Let the jar sit at room temperature for 1-2 days to ferment. Once fermented, store in the refrigerator.
