Prep Time

Cook Time

This recipe doesn't require any cooking time.

Ingredients

  • 1 head of Napa cabbage
  • 1/4 cup of sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon of minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon of minced ginger
  • 1 tablespoon of gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
  • 2 teaspoons of sugar
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and julienned
  • 1/4 cup of water

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Gloves (optional)
  • Jar or airtight container

Method

  1. Cut the cabbage into 2-inch pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add the sea salt to the cabbage and massage it for a few minutes until the cabbage starts to release some liquid.
  3. Fill the bowl with water until the cabbage is fully submerged, and let it sit for at least 2 hours.
  4. Drain the cabbage and rinse it under cold water a few times, then let it drain in a colander for 15 minutes.
  5. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the garlic, ginger, gochugaru, sugar, green onions, and carrot.
  6. Add the cabbage to the mixing bowl and mix everything together well.
  7. Pack the mixture tightly into a jar or airtight container, leaving a few inches of space at the top.
  8. Pour the water over the top of the mixture until it's fully submerged, then close the lid tightly.
  9. Let the jar sit at room temperature for 1-5 days, depending on how sour you want the kimchi to be.
  10. Once it's fermented to your liking, store it in the fridge.

Notes

Kimchi can be stored in the fridge for several months. The longer it sits, the more sour it will become. You can adjust the spiciness to your liking by adding more or less gochugaru.
