Kimchi Making

11 March 2017

My mum and I decided to make homemade Kimchi today. We have been saying that we wanted to make kimchi since a month ago and finally both of us have the time to make it. Initially, I thought that making kimchi requires huge amount of time but we took about 2 and a half hours to make it. 

2 hours to soak the cabbage with salt and 30 minutes to mixed the cabbage with other ingredients together.

Ingredients

• Cabbage
• Minced Garlic
• Minced Ginger 
• Green Onion
• Onion
• Radish
• Korean Red Pepper Powder
• Fish Sauce 

Steps

1. Washed the cabbage, mixed it with salt and leave it for 2 hours to get rid of the water from the cabbage
2. Minced the garlic and ginger
3. Slice the Green Onion, Onion and Radish 
4. Mixed the Korean Chili Powder with minced garlic and minced ginger
5. Mixed the mixture of Korean Chili Powder with minced garlic and minced ginger with green onion, onion, radish and cabbage and 2 tablespoons of fish sauce. 
6. After step 5, placed it into a jar or box and sealed it tightly 
7. Place it in the room temperature for about 2-3 days and pressed the Kimchi daily for 2-3 days 
8. After 2-3 days, place it in the refrigerator 

The Kimchi that we made, is not the traditional kimchi but simple steps Kimchi. I do not know whether it will succeed since it is the first time we made it. Hopefully it does !

I followed the steps and procedures from this Youtube video but I added extra ingredients:
