How to make easy kimchi ("mak kimchi" in Korean).
full recipe: http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/easy-k...
It's made with small pieces of cabbage that are easier to handle and take less time to prepare.
Ingredients:
Baechu (napa cabbage 10 pounds), salt, sweet rice flour, sugar, water, garlic, ginger, onion, fish sauce, squid, hot pepper flakes, leek, green onions, carrot, radish.
Directions:
1.Trim the discolored outer leaves of 10 pounds of napa cabbage.
2.Cut the cabbage lengthwise into quarters and remove the cores.
3.Chop it up into bite size pieces.
4.Soak the pieces of cabbage in cold water and put the soaked cabbage into a large basin. Sprinkle salt.
*tip: 1 cup of salt will be used for 10 pounds of napa cabbage
5. Every 30 minutes, turn the cabbage over to salt evenly (total salting time will be 1½ hours).
6.1½ hours later, rinse the cabbage in cold water 3 times to clean it thoroughly.
7.Drain the cabbage and set aside.
Make porridge:
1.Put 3 cups of water and ½ cup sweet rice flour (chapssal garu) in a pot and mix it well and bring to a boil. Keep stirring until the porridge makes bubbles (about 5 minutes).
2.Add ¼ cup sugar. Stir and cook for a few more mintues until it's translucent.
3.Cool it down.
Make kimchi paste:
1.Place the cold porridge into a large bowl. Now you will add all your ingredients one by one.
2. Add 1 cup of fish sauce, 2.5 cups of hot pepper flakes (depending on your taste), 1 cup of crushed garlic, 1-2 tbs of minced ginger, 1 cup amount of minced onion.
*tip: much easier to use a food processor.
3. Wash and drain the salty squid. Chop it up and add it to the kimchi paste.
*tip: how to prepare salty squid is posted on the FAQ above!
4. Add 10 diagonally-sliced green onions, 2 cups amount of chopped leek, 2 cups of julienned Korean radish, and ¼ cup of julienned carrot.
5. Mix all ingredients well and your kimchi paste is done.
Action! Mix the cabbage with the kimchi paste!
1. Put the kimchi paste in a large basin and add all the cabbage. Mix it by hand.
*tip: If your basin is not large enough to mix all the ingredients at once, do it bit by bit.
2. Put the kimchi into an air-tight sealed plastic container or glass jar.
3. You can eat it fresh right after making or wait until it's fermented.
I usually put all my kimchi in the fridge except for a little bit in a small container. I like fresh kimchi, so this way the kimchi in the fridge ferments slowly and stays fresh, while the smaller container ferments faster and gets sour. I use this sour kimchi for making things like kimchi chigae where sour kimchi is better. Then, when the small container is empty, I fill it up again with kimchi from the big container. It takes a little management, but experiment and you'll get the hang of it!
How do you know it's fermented or not?
One or 2 days after, open the lid of the Kimchi container. You may see some bubbles with lots of liquids, or maybe sour smells. That means it's already being fermented.

Quick question: What kind of salt do I use for the cabbage? I couldnt tell if it was table salt, kosher salt, or pickling salt in the video.

When the kimchi ferments, the taste will be better. If you like to fix the salty kimchi, add peeled and sliced radish between the salty kimchi. That’s my way to dilute.
