Making Kimchi

Have you heard about Kimchi?
It is traditional Korean food. Actually, it is kind of side dish.:)
Kimchi is fermented cabbage. Some people can't like the smell of Kimchi but if you taste it, you will love it.
When I was in Korea, I was used to make Kimchi.
Making Kimchi starts with arrange resources.
Wash the cabbages and preserve the cabbages with salt for 8 hours. It is for remove water from inside of cabbage.
Then make pepper sauce. Mix ground red pepper with boiled rice starch, minced garlic, minced ginger and salted anchovies or salted shrimps. I prefer to add sliced onion, sliced pear and boiled sweet potato starch. If you want to eat very spicy Kimchi, just add lots of ground red peppers.
Wash the pickled cabbages and put the pepper sauce into the cabbages equally.
Put these cabbages into a case and leave it outside for 2 or 3 days. It is for permentation.
It is all about making Kimchi.
In this weekend, I will make Kimchi. Would you like to try it? :)
