I should live in South Korea come to think of it , thinking of kimchi all the time.....I love Korean cuisine and especially this side dish...kimchi !!!! I must have this side dish when I have rice for dinner. I made another load of kimchi for my Piggy Jo. She loves kimchi ( I guess she has my genes more ) and yay ! she is coming back next week. I have them ready for her to cart back to her hostel..the Uni has a fridge for her so she can now keep kimchi in her room :p
I can make kimchi with the eyes closed , hahaha just kidding, that I do not need to measure out the ingredients. I just go by instinct. And most of time it turned out better than the last time :p Yea, I know my Piggies will be rolling their eyes if they read this and will tell me to my face ..." Mom , be humble ya " hahaha yea...ok ok...I will be humble then. This time, I cut up the cabbage into 1 inch length and soak them in brine for a day in the fridge , the cabbage turned out crispy and gosh it tasted so good that I have a bowl of it , all to myself. So good that, I salivate each time I open the fridge door and this tupper of kimchi starring at me , asking to be savored.
Jo, this is for you ....you will love it !

Hi Kim,
ReplyDeleteI used medium sized chinese cabbage. For 2 med sized, I add 6 tbsp of sea salt and enuf water to cover the cabbage. Hope this helps :)
