We thought venturing into other kimchi domains would be a wise decision, especially with the warmer weather. This type of kimchi is perfect for those who can't handle spicy foods and is milder in flavor. Enjoy with rice and other meals.

½ cup coarse salt
1 napa cabbage, cut into chunks
2 jujube (Chinese dates), or more to taste
5 ½ cups water, divided

  • Pack cabbage mixture into an airtight jar. Pour in any liquid left in the bowl.
  • Seal and let sit at room temperature until starting to ferment, 1 to 2 days. Transfer to the refrigerator.

This kimchi turned out delicious! It had a nice balance between sour and sweet, and the texture was perfect. I added a bit of gochugaru to give it a little bit of heat. Will definitely be making this again!
