Simple Kimchi

This is a recipe for my cheater kimchi. It may not be authentic, but it’s easy, inexpensive and tasty!

A tablespoon of chili sauce will give the kimchi a kick, but add the second tablespoon if you like it extra spicy.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 head napa cabbage
• 1/4 cup of kosher salt
• 1/2 cup of rice wine vinegar
• 2 Tablespoons of sugar
• 1-2 Tablespoons of sriracha hot chili sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 green onions, chopped

Instructions

 

• Chop napa cabbage into bite-size pieces. (Or a bit larger/smaller, whatever you prefer.)
• In a large colander, toss with kosher salt. Set colander in sink and allow cabbage to drain and tenderize for two hours.
• After two hours, rinse and dry cabbage well, squeezing out any excess water.
• In a large bowl, whisk together rice wine vinegar, sugar, chili sauce, and garlic. Add chopped green onions. Add cabbage and mix well.
• Store in the fridge (I used two quart jars.) Kimchi can be eaten immediately but will be even better after a few hours in the fridge.
