My friend and custodian at our school is from Korea and she taught me to make her Kim Chi. Fermented veggies are very good for you and I love cabbage and all things spicy. Thank you Sue for teaching me.

How To Make kim chi

  • 1
    Hand shred the cabbage into bite sized pieces. Lightly salt and toss. Let it sit for 1/2 to an hour.
  • 2
    Cover cabbage with water and allow to sit 30+ minutes or until the cabbage sinks (water is absorbed).
  • 3
    Drain the cabbage. A little water is ok...you don't want it too dry. Add the green onions, carrots, radish, garlic, sesame, red pepper, sugar and salt.
  • 4
    Use gloves to toss it altogether to cover completely.
  • 5
    Add fish sauce and mix lightly.
