Chop up 1 Large Napa/Chinese Cabbage and 3 or 4 Green Onions.
Rinse the Cabbage with Water in a Strainer.
Cover with a bunch of Salt (1 measuring cup full maybe).
Use your clean hands or a big spoon to toss. Your Cabbage pieces should now be wet and thoroughly salted.
Let the Cabbage sit for 20-30 Minutes.
You will see that the Cabbage shrinks down as moisture is drawn out by the Salt.
Then rinse and strain your Cabbage.
Add spices. I use Cayenne pepper, Green Onions, freshly chopped Garlic…
For this batch I included some whole Thai Peppers. Mix all of your flavorings in with the cabbage.
Put everything in a large glass or plastic Jar with a firmly fitting lid. Let it sit out at room temperature for 3-7 days, depending on how rich you like your Kimchi.
I was taught this recipe while living in Germany 30 years ago by a Korean neighbor friend. So, this is an authentic Korean Kimchi recipe from an indirect source.
Notes: There are many variations on this recipe including your main vegetable.
Also, you can add ingredients like ginger or preserved fish.
Happy Weekend Warrior Cooking!
