of course! i modified slightly from the various youtube sites (aeriskitchen & maangchi)

ingredients :

http://i52.tinypic.com/244z80l.jpg\"> :
2 cabbages (abt 2.5kg)
1 med carrot
1/2 med radish (round n stout one best, but skinny also can)
1 head garlic
1 med onion (red one sweeter)
8-10 scallions
1 thumb size ginger
1 fuji apple
1 cup hot pepperflakes (must be korean)
60ml fish sauce
sesame seeds (up to u)
sweet rice glue (3tbsp glutinous flour+3tbsp water, dissolved + 2 cup water, bring to almost boil ->bubbling, + 2 tbsp sugar. stir constantly till translucent, let cool)


how i do it :

1)http://i51.tinypic.com/2h3r1tx.jpg\"> :cut cabbage to bit-size, wash, soak with salt-mixture (10cup water+1cup salt). for 1 1/2 hr, turning every 1/2 hr so that the cabbage are evenly coated with salt.

you will end up with half the amt : http://i56.tinypic.com/34ew9ar.jpg\">

2)while the cabbage are soaking, make rice glue n let cool.
3)julienne carrot, radish, scallion.
4)chop apple, onion, ginger n garlic; into blender with fish sauce.
5)pour 4) into cooled rice glue.
6)+hot pepperflakes.

Voila! u have kimchi. Note : when packing kimchi into container, must press slightly so that its compact for fermentation. eat it 7-10 days later, it taste best after slight fermentation.

Looks wonderful. :drool: Can feel my saliva glands working just by looking at the pics


But alamak, gotta wait 7-10 days? When I want to eat, I want to eat lah, cannot wait 7-10 days. And when dun feel like eating, will not feel like making. My cooking is driven solely by my moods and cravings.

:hi5: sama sama here ... But kimchi can keep in fridge for months! Only the longer u keep them, the more sour it becomes. Aged kimchi good for soups n as seasoning ingredient for other dishes such as fried rice, pancakes or Stir fry with seafood. Fresh kimchi is v crunchy, if u want to eat immediately, u can take some out n further season w a little salt n eat w rice. :love:
