homemade cabbage kimchi
I like making homemade rather than opening premade jars. Plus, I can adjust the spice amount since most premade Kimchi is too spicy for me and my family. This recipe is perfect and easy to make.

How To Make homemade cabbage kimchi
-
Step 1Place the chopped cabbage in a large colander. Pour the salt over the cabbage. I worked in rows. I place a bunch of cabbage, then a bit of salt, then more cabbage and more salt, and do this about 4 times. Mix the cabbage with your hands and let it sit for 3 hours, mixing every 30 minutes.

Step 2Add the water and flour together in a large skillet. Whisk over medium heat and bring to a boil, and add the garlic, onion, ginger, apples, and fish sauce. Stir in the chili powder and remove from the heat, and let cool

Step 3Wash the cabbage well removing most of the salt. Drain well and add to a large bowl. Add the scallions and the chili mixture mixing well with hand then fill sterile jar leaving a head space of an inch. Let stand in a cool darken place for 3 days. Open the lids once a day to remove the gasses. Place in refrigerator after 3 days and use within 6 weeks.
