Ingredients
- 3 lb Napa cabbage
- 2/3 cup Korean salt
- 6 cups water
- 1 medium onion diced
- 1/2 Korean pear or 1 sweet apple peeled, cored, and diced
- 7 clove garlic
- 4 tbsp Korean fish sauce
- 1/2 cup Korean chili flakes (gochugaru)
- 2 tbsp Korean plum extract (maeshil cheong) optional
- 1 inch ginger peeled
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 Asian leek or 3 green onion, sliced
- 2-3 fresh red chilies sliced, optional
Instructions
- Cut off the stem part of cabbage. Cut each cabbage leaf in half or 3-4 section (depends on the size). Place the cabbage leaves in a large mixing bowl.
- Combine salt and water and bring to a full boil and dissolve the salt; cool down for 5 minutes. Pour the salt water over cabbages in mixing bowl. Let it sit for 10 minutes, turn the cabbages over to the other side and continue to soak for 5 more minutes. Rinse once and drain thoroughly.
- Meanwhile make kimchi filling; combine garlic, ginger, onion, pear(or apple), and anchovy sauce in a blender and puree until smooth. Pour the puree in a small mixing bowl. Add Korean chili flakes, sugar, and Koran plum extract( if using); mix well.
- Place drained cabbages in a large shallow mixing bowl. Add the red chilies, green onions (if using), and the kimchi filling. Toss all together to coat evenly. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and toss well.
Notes
- This kimchi will stay fresh in the fridge for 10 days. Not ideal for a long term fermentation.
