Korean-style spicy cabbage

Korean-style spicy cabbage

A faithful Korean kimchi built on overnight-salted napa cabbage, its leaves slicked with a blended paste of apple, onion, ginger, garlic and chili for that signature sweet-spicy fermented kick.

Instructions

    Cut the Chinese cabbage in half, rinse thoroughly with clean water and drain, and sprinkle coarse salt on each leaf.

    Sprinkle a thin layer of salt on the surface as well.

    Place it in a sealed container to marinate overnight. The next day, when you take it out, a box that was full has reduced to only one-third of its original height. Rinse off the salt with running water and drain the moisture.

    Then cover it with a lid and wait for about ten days until it ferments, and it will be ready.
