Ingredients

Instructions

  • Separate the cabbage from the bunch and rinse. Spread a few leaves in a large shallow bowl and sprinkle with sea salt, about 1-2 table spoonful. Repeat the layer of the cabbage and salt. Let the cabbage soak for 1-2 hour until the they become wilted. Turn the cabbage upside down halfway through.
  • Rinse the cabbage 2 times and drain in a colander. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile mix seafood stock with rice flour and let it thicken over mid-high heat constantly whisking. Set aside to cool.
  • In a small blender, puree onion, garlic, ginger, shrimp sauce, and anchovy sauce until smooth. Add the fresh chilies and pulse a few times to cut into small pieces.
  • Pour the chili onion puree into a mixing bowl, add the Korean chili flakes, and the rice glue. Mix well. The seasoning paste will be slightly loose.
  • Spread the kimchi seasoning paste on to each cabbage so that it coats the entire cabbage evenly.
  • Store the kimchi in an airtight container for 1-2 days on the room temperature, then transfer to the fridge for further fermentation.
