Homemade Kimchi

Ingredients:

• 1 large Napa cabbage
• 1 large radish
• 2 Tbsp salt
• 2 large carrots
• 8 scallions
• 2 Tbsp minced garlic
• 2 Tbsp minced ginger
• 1/2 apple
• 6 Tbsp Korean red chili powder
• 6 Tbsp sugar

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Napa cabbage by removing the outer leaves individually. Sprinkle salt on both sides of the cabbage and let it sit for a few hours.
2. Squeeze out all the excessive water from the cabbage and cut it into small pieces.
3. Prepare the reddish by cutting it into small pieces. Sprinkle 2 Tbsp of salt on it and let it sit for a few hours.
4. Rinse the radish with cold water and set it aside.
5. Cut the carrots and scallions into small pieces and set them aside.
6. Mince the garlic, ginger, and half an apple.
7. Mix the Korean red chili powder and sugar with all the ingredients and vegetables in a large bowl.
8. Let the mixture sit in room temperature with a cover for 3-5 days before putting it inside the refrigerator.
9. Do not put the Kimchi in an airtight mason jar during the first 5 days. The "Lacto-fermentation" process creates air that will crack the jar.
