How to make kimchi when you have limited time and ingredients.

Ingredients:
Cabbage, salt, hot pepper flakes, fish sauce, sugar, garlic, green onions, and carrot.
see http://www.maangchi.com/ingredients

Directions:
1. Cut 2 pounds of cabbage into thin strips about 2-3 inches in length and ¼ inch wide. Place into a large bowl.
2. Add 1 cup cold water and ¼ cup kosher salt. Mix it well with your hands to properly salt the cabbage.
3. Set aside for 10 minutes.
4. Make kimchi paste by mixing these ingredients in a bowl:
1/3 cup hot pepper flakes,
1 tbs sugar,
¼ cup fish sauce,
¼ cup minced garlic,
3-4 stalks of chopped green onion (1/3 cup worth),
¼ cup's worth of julienned carrot
5. Wash and rinse the salted cabbage in cold water a couple of times. Drain the water.
6. Mix the kimchi paste into the cabbage thoroughly.
7. Put the kimchi into a container, jar, or plastic bag.
8. Press the top of the kimchi down with your hands to protect your kimchi from being exposed to too much air.
9. You can eat it right away, just like salad. Or keep it at room temperature and it will ferment in a few days. Fermented kimchi can be used for kimchi stir-fried rice orkimchi stew, and it will be delicious.

searched the whole kitchen and we had everything other than hot pepper flakes!! is there something else that can be used? like crushed chili flakes or paprika or something?

oh, i meant mixed chili powder, does that work?

[Maangchi]

@Marih94 We have talked about this topic on the forum. Please type out "Chili powder versus Red Pepper Powder or flakes" in search box on my website, then it will lead you to the discussion. ChefKibby left a good tip for those who can't find Korean hot pepper flakes in their area.

@Maangchi hehe, thank you for replying, i actually read it after i posted the comment. i love to watch the food that you're making! fighting!

[Maangchi]

@Marih94 oh yeah? cool!

[CraftyKoo]

I love how you can consider no kimchi to be an emergency. Too funny and cute!

I like that this recipe does not need to ferment. Thank you for this recipe.

[MrBroadKast]

can you use the Korean Chilli paste instead of chilli flakes for this?

[TheKatieRin]

You said 1 teaspoon for people who prefer milder taste right? I was looking at the uploader comments but it sounds really small compared to 1/3 cup. I like mild-medium in terms of spicy. How much would you recommend please. (:
