Best 5 Kim Chee Ks Way Recipes

QUICK SPICY KIMCHEE

Steps:

• Remove outer leaves from cabbage. Cut cabbage in quarters and remove the tough inner core. Slice across sections into 1/2-inch slices. Put into a colander, add salt, and mix well. Place over a bowl and let drain, covered, until wilted, about 2 hours.
• In a large bowl combine the vinegar and sugar and stir to dissolve. Add the chili paste, ginger, garlic, and scallions and stir. Rinse the salt off the cabbage with a couple of changes of water. Dry well and add to the vinegar mixture; stir well to combine. Put into a sterilized glass jar and pack the cabbage down; add enough water to cover. Close the jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. This is spicy and gets spicier the longer it sits - add or subtract chili paste to your taste.

KIMCHI, MY WAY

Steps:

• Place the cabbage in a colander and sprinkle it with the salt, making sure to get plenty of salt between the layers of leaves. Let sit, undisturbed, for 2 to 3 hours.
• When the cabbage is very wilted, rinse it well, making sure to rinse again between the layers of leaves. Shake it dry.
• Mix together radish, ground chilies, fish sauce, garlic, ginger, sugar and scallions; the mixture will be bright red.
• Combine shrimp with spice mixture.
• Use your fingers to pack the whole cabbage, inside and out, with the mixture. Or cut the cabbage up, and toss it with the mixture. Serve immediately, whole or cut, or refrigerate. Keeps well for a week, becoming spicier every day.
