How Make Authentic Korean Kimchi

1

Chop Napa Cabbage

Quarter one Napa cabbage lengthwise, then remove the thick core. Slice each quarter into 2-inch-wide strips. Place the chopped Napa cabbage leaves into a big bowl.

2

Salt the Cabbage

Sprinkle ¼ cup of sea salt over the Napa cabbage. Massage it into the chopped leaves until they begin to soften. The leaves will shrink down.

3

Soak Salted Cabbage in Water

Add filtered water to cover the cabbage. The cabbage needs to stay under the water, so make sure it’s weighed down well. Let it soak in the water for about 6 hours.

4

Make Kimchi Paste

Combine the grated ginger,  minced garlic, granulated sugar, fish sauce, water and Gochugaru pepper. Stir until a chili paste forms.
