Wow, this video is such a gift-just in time for the holidays! As a fellow Korean-American, I grew up with kimchi as a staple in my home, but I’ve always been a little intimidated by the idea of making it myself. Your step-by-step instructions make it feel so approachable and fun. I love how you incorporate personal touches, like using Fuji apple and Korean pear for sweetness and sharing your mom’s special gochugaru-those details make this recipe even more special. I also really appreciate how you emphasize the labor and love that go into each batch. It’s so true that kimchi isn’t just food; it’s a connection to family, tradition, and culture. Your video inspired me to give homemade mak kimchi a try, and I’m thinking it’ll make a perfect Christmas gift for loved ones. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, passion, and memories with us. Wishing you and your family a warm and happy holiday season!
This is great for me! I am not vegan, but I do have a lot of food allergies (which is most of why I’m not vegan, actually) and I really don’t know how to adapt a kimchi recipe to my needs. This is absolutely a great first step for me as (upon first watch) there already isn’t anything I’m allergic to, although there might be in the ingredients, but I’ll figure that out when I get there. I’m in college right now, but once I have space to actually cook, this is absolutely going to be something I make!
I have been wanting to make some homemade Kimchi for years now. I think that is one of the first things I will do in the new year. Just need to make a shopping list for the next time I go to the big Asian market in St. Louis.
Hello, Joanne, that this kimchi is the best that I have ever tried! Even my and my partner's moms are making it :) I want to sincerely thank You for sharing this recipe, best wishes ❤️❤️
Thank you for this video! I have been wanting to make kimchi for a long time now but thought it would be a bit overwhelming. This recipe really looks so easy to make. I plan on making this recipe during Christmas vacation. Wish me luck!
Was just rereading your book for something to make and saw this "easy" version of kimchi while looking at your website so had to try it, waiting to toss the cabbage around now and am already drooling. a few months ago I had the last of some 3 year old kimchi from when I first made it from your book, very sour but nice in small bits.
This looks amazing! If I had more time and energy to put into cooking, I would definitely try this out. I respect anyone who puts that much effort to make kimchi from scratch
Making kimchi does seem like a long process. But the pulling the cabbage apart seems like a good upper body workout. I'm glad that you explained what every part of the process does. I thought the initial salting of the cabbage was to draw out any excess liquid. I didn't know that it actually pickles it.
❤ beautiful video and preparation thank you for sharing. I would love some of that. Eat kimchi atleast once a week. The store bought ones sometime taste like gasoline to me.
I got really inspired to study the history and process of making kimchi these past handful of days and I'm in the process of making your recipe right now! I had a question. I greatly underestimated the amount of cabbage I bought and the lack of bowls I had 😂 What size is the giant metal bow you're using for your kimchi prep? Thanks so much 🥰
Hi! That is so amazing to hear!! You can find all the info on the amount of cabbage as well as all the equipment I use (including links) here: thekoreanvegan.com/the-best-easy-vegan-kimchi-recipe/ I'm so excited for you to try making kimchi!!
She says that Kosher salt is fine. You *could* probably use table salt too, but make sure to convert the ratio, since table salt is more sodium-dense (aka "saltier") than Korean sea salt or course Kosher salt
@@frozenBird925 thanks but the salts here in our country Philippines are probably saltier than Koreans sea salt or Kosher salt so we shouldn't put the salt a lot of at least melt it on the water to reduce saltiness? I mean if there's no Korean sea salt or Kosher salt here in our country we probably use the salts in here from our country
@@KickFlip_Riize_and_ARrC_luv The ingredients are measured for Korean sea salt or course kosher salt. You "can" use any salt, but it probably won't taste the exact same
Can you kindly provide tge details of step by step method of preparation in written format. Sometimes it's difficult to again and again to tgd video. Thanks in advance.
I love kimchi on EVERYTHING. Once I tried to make it at home. Well let's just say I will stick to purchasing it from now on 😅 Clearly I did not do something correctly & instead of fermenting, I think it started grow bad bacteria. So I threw it out.
I think what happened is you didn’t add enough salt. Or you exposed the top of the kimchi to air (instead of submerging it in sauce). But it isn’t mold! It’s yeast. You can just remove those pieces on top and the rest should be fine! You should try again 😊😊😊
I just completed making a whole variety of vegan kimchi 😂 my only concern is finding substitutes for the chilies powder which is impossible. All the chilies powder are made in China and I don’t want to eat food from China.
Why do you pronounce kimchi in an English pronunciation? You should pronounce it in Korean, teach people how it properly pronounced. It’s gimchi not kimchi.

Let us know how it goes! I bet you will get calls or emails asking "for any 'extra' jars".

Looks delicious! And when the kimchi is done, I’m for sure using the giant kimchi bowl as a snow sled in the winter months! ❄️🛷 haha
Thank you for this recipe ❤ I've been searching for a whole afternoon
Kimchi receipe is very good .One must try and makes part meal .

Thank you! I will look for the plum sauce and Korean salt next time I go to a city. This looks amazing !😊

Outstanding video
Damn... I wish I was your friend! 😅 Store bought Kimchi does not do justice to what I just witnessed here.... looks sooooo yummy!
I agree 😂
We miss you!❤
Mmmm
Hi!!!
Amazing 😍😍😍😍😍
🙏🙏💜
I would love to hear more about the fermentation process.
This looks amazing! If I had more time and energy to put into cooking, I would definitely try this out. I respect anyone who puts that much effort to make kimchi from scratch

Please upload water kimchi recipe tooo❤
❤ beautiful video and preparation thank you for sharing. I would love some of that. Eat kimchi atleast once a week. The store bought ones sometime taste like gasoline to me.
I hear ya! Store-bought kimchi is def not always the best. 😖
Im so gonna try. U make this look easy enough anyway. Is it appropriation if I am not Korean?? I love kimchi
Of course not! Anyone can eat anything
Can you share the farm that your mom goes to for the gochugaru? 고추가로
I read somewhere else that cabbage should be rinsed with filtered water. I don’t have filter at home. What can I do?

@@TheKoreanVegan I was just silly and bought too much cabbage for the amount of bowls I had 😂 Thank you so much!
Can we use any type of salt of there's no Korean sea salt? Pls answer me

@frozenBird925 yeah but I think it's still delicious even if the taste is different
@frozenBird925 the sea salts that aren't Korean can be substitute too and it's the same as Korean one?
How does it ferment when there's no room for air to escape??
❤❤❤
💜

All that work and beautiful food and you use blue painter's tape? What about a pretty label? Yum, anyways.

I made some vegan kimchi a couple of months ago but it didn’t taste salty enough and now I’m afraid to eat it. 😢
Add more salt?
@@melinda-elisatatar4253the salt is critical for keeping it safe and helping it ferment so I’m worried it isn’t safe to eat.
@@tarabooartarmy3654 Have you tried Joanne's recipe?
Remake it add more salt

It’s gimchi not kimchi.
strange thing to complain about. lol
