Directions

Step 1

Cut the cabbage into quarters and remove the core. Chop into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Place cabbage in a large bowl and sprinkle salt evenly. Massage the salt into the cabbage.

Step 3

Let the cabbage sit for 1 hour, tossing every 15 minutes until it softens and releases water.

Step 4

Rinse the cabbage thoroughly under cold water 2–3 times to remove excess salt. Drain well.

Step 5

In a saucepan, mix rice flour and 1 cup water. Stir over medium heat until it thickens into a paste.

Step 6

Let the paste cool. Add chili powder, garlic, ginger, sugar, and fish sauce. Mix until smooth.

Step 7

Add chopped radish and spring onion to the paste.

Step 8

Mix everything to coat evenly.

Step 9

Combine the seasoning mixture with the drained cabbage. Mix thoroughly using hands (gloves recommended).

Step 10

Pack the kimchi tightly into a clean glass jar, pressing down to eliminate air pockets.

Step 11

Leave the jar at room temperature for 2–3 days to ferment, then refrigerate. Enjoy after 5 days for best flavor.
