Kimchi is a traditional Korean dish of fermented cabbage, with a variety of other vegetables, such as radishes, scallions, and garlic, and a variety of seasonings, including gochugaru (Korean chili powder), gochujang (Korean chili paste), ginger, and jeotgal (fermented seafood). It is a staple in Korean cuisine and is often served as a side dish or condiment to accompany rice, noodles, or soup. Kimchi has a long history in Korea, with evidence of its existence dating back to the Silla Kingdom (57 BC - 935 AD). It is widely recognized for its health benefits, including its probiotic properties, its high content of dietary fiber, and its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The fermentation process of kimchi produces various beneficial bacteria, including lactic acid bacteria, which contribute to its characteristic sour and spicy flavor. The unique flavor and aroma of kimchi have made it a popular ingredient in various dishes worldwide.

Steps:
- Remove discolored, bruised outer leaves of cabbage and rinse cabbage under cold water. Cut cabbage head into 2-inch pieces.
- Divide 3 cups water among 3 bowls. Stir 1 cup sea salt into each bowl of water. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup sea salt over cabbage.
- Place salted cabbage in the 3 bowls salted water until partially submerged; let sit 6 to 12 hours.
- Rinse cabbage thoroughly under cold water several times. Squeeze cabbage to remove excess water. Cabbage should have a rubbery texture. Transfer cabbage to a colander or basket to thoroughly drain the cabbage, at least 2 hours.
- Combine 3 cups water and rice flour in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Whisk mixture until a glue-like consistency, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and cool rice mixture to room temperature.
- Combine onion, garlic, ginger, and 1 tablespoon water in a food processor; pulse until smooth, adding more water if needed.
- Pour chile flakes into a large bowl; stir in onion-garlic mixture, cooled rice flour mixture, fish sauce, shrimp, brown sugar, and sesame seeds until well mixed. Add radish and green onions and mix well.
- Coat each cabbage piece with chile mixture by using your hands. (Rubber gloves are highly recommended.) Pack coated cabbage leaves inside air-tight glass jars or containers; cover each tightly with a lid. Keep jars at room temperature for fermentation to occur, about 2 days. Refrigerate kimchi after the 2 days.

SPICY CABBAGE KIMCHI
Kimchi, a popular Korean dish, is best described as a spicy, slightly sweet, pickled or fermented cabbage. I spent a year in South Korea and fell in LOVE with Kimchi! My friend Myong was kind enough to share her recipe and technique with me. Some ingredients may not be readily available in your local supermarket. Look for Kimchi (Fish) Sauce and Korean chili powder in Asian markets or online. Use kimchi in stir fries or your favorite Korean dishes.

Steps:
- Cut the cabbages in half lengthwise and trim the ends. Rinse and cut into pieces about 2 inch square. Place the cabbage into large resealable bags and sprinkle salt on the leaves so they are evenly coated. Use your hands to rub the salt in to the leaves. Seal the bags and leave at room temperature for 6 hours.
- Rinse the salt from the cabbage leaves and then drain and squeeze out any excess liquid. Place the cabbage in a large container with a tight fitting lid. Stir in the fish sauce, green onions, white onion, garlic, sugar and ginger. Sprinkle the Korean chile powder over the mixture. Wear plastic gloves to protect your hands and rub the chile powder into the cabbage leaves until evenly coated. Seal the container and set in a cool dry place. Leave undisturbed for 4 days. Refrigerate before serving, and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month (if it lasts that long!).

Tips:
- Choose fresh, crisp cabbage for the best kimchi.
- Use a variety of vegetables to add flavor and texture to your kimchi, such as radishes, carrots, and scallions.
- Make sure to salt the cabbage thoroughly before adding the other ingredients. This will help to draw out the water and make the kimchi crispy.
- Use a clean glass or ceramic container to store your kimchi. Avoid using metal containers, as they can react with the kimchi and cause it to spoil.
- Store the kimchi in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks before eating. The longer you ferment the kimchi, the more flavorful it will become.

Kimchi is a delicious and healthy Korean side dish that is easy to make at home. With a little planning and preparation, you can enjoy this traditional Korean dish in no time. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to add some flavor to your meals, give kimchi a try.
