Homemade Napa Cabbage Kimchi

Homemade Napa Cabbage Kimchi

Napa cabbage is salted overnight to soften, then every leaf is coated in a fiery blend of chili powder, garlic, and seasonings before fermenting in a sealed jar.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Step image

    Spread salt on each cabbage leaf (try to cover every part) and let it release water for 8 hours (forgot to take a photo earlier), then wash it clean and soak in cool boiled water to wash thoroughly, use scissors to reduce the size of the pieces and dry the water (I squeeze out the water by hand)

  2. 2

    Chop all the seasonings and put them together (don't forget the rock sugar) and mix well

    Put it into a sealed jar, cover it with plastic wrap, leave it at room temperature for 24 hours, then put it in the refrigerator. It can be eaten after three days.
