All ingredients are best bought at a Korean store. First, prepare the brine. Add salt to the water. Mix thoroughly. We cut cabbage into squares. Peel and chop the onion and radish in strips. Put the prepared vegetables in the brine. Mix thoroughly. Cover with a lid and press down with a load. Leave for five hours. After time, drain the brine. We start cooking pasta. We take and mix sugar, grated ginger, crushed garlic, red pepper, fish sauce, shrimp paste, chopped onion, boiled rice flour in water and add a little brine where the cabbage was infused. Grind everything with a blender. Pour the paste onto the cabbage. We put on gloves and proceed to knead kimchi. We taste it. If we love more sharply, then add more pepper. Now the mass must be tightly tamped in a liter jar. Tightly close and stand for a week. Keep refrigerated. Then you can try.
The second way to cook kimchi in Korean
There is another recipe where cabbage is cut lengthwise into two parts. The ingredients are the same. So, cut out the stumps. Soak halves in water. Sprinkle with salt evenly (it is best to take a large one). Fill them with water and press down. Leave to pickle for eight hours. When the cabbage is salted, rinse it, put it aside. Let's prepare a dressing. We grow rice flour in cold water. Then boil. It should be a paste. Cut the radish and onion into strips. Grind garlic and ginger. All this and fish sauce, paste, granulated sugar add to the cabbage. Wearing rubber gloves, mix everything thoroughly and ram into a jar. We put it in a cold place. Korean soups can be served with soups and meat dishes. There is more than one recipe, as you see. Consider another option.
