I am soooo happy there are kimchi freaks out there who make this sh** from scratch. I ve been very unsuccessful myself when making a batch at home. I would always end up with bubbly rotten cabbage :-( bleh… But! amazingly enough i followed this super old-butt recipe from grandma’s grandma and man was that delish. Spicy as hell and red as baboon’s ass. I’ve finished it just by nibblng on it with every meal (consisting pretty much of kimchi and kimchi), so didn’t have much time to experiment, but my absolute favorite is kimchi fried rice.
I just posted my ultimate kimchi recipe and cannot wait to try it again. What else should work apart from cabbage and radishes? spinach leaves? kohlrabi bulb? hm….
