Cabbage Kimchi Recipe
Hey, friends! This is @ramengirl :) Today, I’m going to show you how to make fresh kimchi with cabbage that you can get almost anywhere in the world. Usually, Korean people eat kimchi made by Napa or Chinese cabbages, but sometimes it's hard to get in some countries. So Koreans who living in outside of Korea making Kimchi like this, and it's really popular among them :)
I don’t have a kimchi refrigerator(which is most of the Korean people has) at home, and my refrigerator is small so it gets Kimchi smells all over the refrigerator really easily. So, I don’t eat kimchi at home except my mom send me some. However, this cabbage kimchi has less smell, and it's really easy to make, so I’m making small amount of it every time I get craving for Kimchi ;)
Okay, let's get started ~!
The most important ingredient is the cabbage. I went to the supermarket and found this strange-looking cabbage. I bought it because it was cheap and says it’s really easy to use for all dishes. It was really fresh taste so I liked it :) First of all, cut the cabbage and we’re going to soak it in salt water for an hour.
Put 2 tablespoons of salt into two cups (= 500ml) of lukewarm water and melt it well. While waiting for one hour, turn it upside down once in a while. After one hour rinse it in cold water.
Let's make a sauce for Kimchi now. Add cut 1 onion, a handful of cut green onions, 1 tablespoon chopped garlic and 1/2 tablespoon of chopped ginger in a bowl, add 2 tablespoons of red chili powder, 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/2 tablespoon of salt and mix together well.
Then, put the salted cabbage and mix it together. That’s it ;) So easy, huh?
Put the well-made kimchi in a container like this.
Kimchi is tasteless if the air enters, so please squeeze the kimchi it in a container and cover the surface with a zip lock or plastic bag at the end, and then close the lid.
This is really simple way to make Kimch compare to traditional way :) If it's hot weather where you live, you can keep it at a room temperature for half or one day and then put it in refrigerator, and if it's cold weather where you live, you can keep it 2days at room temperature and then put in the refrigerator. It’s so delicious even if you eat as a side dish and it is even more delicious if you make a Kimchi soup or kimchi fried rice etc. :)
I made a seaweed soup and Korean style omelet for dinner. This is really typical Korean home cook dinner :) I hope this recipe will be helpful to you guys who live in another country. Thank you!!

Thank you for sharing how to do kimchi @ramengirl. I see from the making is intriguing and want to taste the taste directly. Want me to feel kimchi. But in my country in indonesia no one can make kimchi. If only there is on sale in the market, I immediately buy it.

Thanks for the translation. Making homemade kimchi has been a desire of mine for a long time, but didnt really have a clear explanation. Until now! Very exciting!
@leesmoketree You're welcome!! Hope you'll like it :)
This recipe does look easy. I have never tried eating kimchi, so I wonder what's the most dominant taste someone can expect
@horazwiwik Kimchi is little bit spicy taste :) Hope you like spicy food!
I see. Yes I do like spicy food. In fact, food here in Indonesia are mostly spicy 😁
It looks delicious. I am glad I saw your post.
Going to give a try making it .
Thank you for sharing it .
@raku Please try to make it! :)
I will try this! I love kimchi, especially the ones from radish. Can we substitute cabbage with radish? and will they get better or worse if we leave them longer in the room temperature (up to 5days so to say)?
You don't wanna keep it at room temperature too long :( You can taste it after 1-2days and if it's taste little bit sour(not a lot) you should put in the fridge if you don't it's going to taste really bad! Making radish Kimchi is pretty different :( I'll try to make a recipe of radish Kimch too :) Thank you!
right, then I will note this! Thank you so much! and I am looking forward for the radish kimchi recipe :)
I didn't realize how easy kimchi was to make. You've inspired me to give it a try. By the way, what exactly is pepper powder? Is that just black pepper?
@lifewithlinda Oops sorry! pepper powder = red chili powder sorry if I made you confused :(
This Kimchi looks so fresh, quick and easy! I want to try making it someday soon, thanks for the easy recipe!
@neoconqueso Awww thanks!! Fresh kimchi is my favorite kind of kimchi :) Hope you like my recipe, thanks!
This is like eating salad.Let's see if it sells in "Shin Okubo" in Japan:))

After Making avocado toast, I tried making this.
It was very easy just like your instruction.
I used potato and cauliflower instead as I don't have cabbage right now.
