I've finally filmed that highly requested Korean kimchi recipe for you. It's taken me a year to locate some napa cabbage. Crazy, right?
Here's a written recipe: goo.gl/ooaXko
If you have no idea what kimchi is, it's sort of like a Korean version of sauerkraut, but it's very, very different. The taste might require some getting used to, but don't let it scare you. Kimchi is a true nutritional powerhouse: it helps your stomach produce more stomach acid, improves digestion, provides you with more digestive enzymes and good bugs for the gut, as well as clear up your skin. This recipe is very easy and the ingredients are very easy to find, so you should be able to make it wherever you are in the world. There are tons of variations around and this one is mine!
Ingredients for Kimchi:
♥ 1. 3kg (2.5 lbs) Napa cabbage (also called Chinese cabbage)
♥ 6 green onions
♥ 2 medium carrots
♥ 10 radishes
♥ 4 garlic cloves
♥ 1-2 inch piece of ginger (around 1 tbsp), but feel free to reduce if you aren't a big fan of lots of ginger
♥ 2 Tbsp fine sea salt or Himalaya salt
♥ 2 chillies or 1 tbsp chilli powder
♥ 2.5 tbsp fish sauce (optional if you want to make it vegetarian or vegan)
You'll also need a 2 litre jar (just over 2 quarts). If you have a slightly bigger one, it will be even better Mine was overflowing and made a bit of a mess while fermenting, so if you have one that will leave a bit of room at the top, that's perfect!
Ferment anywhere from 3 to 5 or 7 days. Just keep tasting until it tastes sour enough for you. Make sure you don't cover tightly with a lid while it's fermenting or it will explode. Once it's done fermenting, cover with a lid and store in the fridge for a few months. It's ready to eat straight away. Enjoy!
Simply yours,
