Amazon Price: $1.99 (as of 12/04/2009)Buy Now

Kimichi is an essential part of any authentic Korean meal. It's a must have. And if you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out! Try this online recipe out for a quick and easy Korean dinner!

INGREDIENTS:


  • 1 Pkg. NOH Korean Kim Chee Mix, Net wt. 1-1/8 ounce, 32g.
  • 1 gallon (16 cups) water
  • 5 pounds of cabbage (Won Bok- Chinese cabbage or round cabbage.)
  • Other vegetables can be used (ie. turnips, cucumbers, etc.)
  • 1 cup of Rock Salt (medium kiln), or 1 cup of table salt.
  • Large container.

    INSTRUCTIONS:
    Fill a large container (pot, pan, etc.) with 1 gallon of water. Add 1 cup salt. Cut cabbage 1.5 x 2 inches in size. Place all of the cut cabbage into the container of water. Using a large, heavy dinner plate, keep the cabbage submerged under water for at least 8 hours. After this period, rinse the cabbage in tap water and drain in colander.
    Empty 1 package of NOH Korean Kim Chee Mix into the large container. Add 1/2 cup of water and mix well. Add the cabbage and mix thoroughly. After mixing, place cabbage in a quart-size container (ie. jar with a lid). Press the cabbage down firmly, allowing 1/4 space at the top. Close the lid and allow to stand for 1 day (unrefrigerated). This will develop the full flavor. By following these directions, you will have made two (2) quarts of Kim Chee. Refrigerate. Very Spicy.
