    Korean here! I learned how to make kimchi from my mom and one of the tips she taught me was to never overfill your kimchi container. I always leave about 2 inches of space at the top so that there's room for the gases. Also carrots are good but if you can find it, Korean turnip elevates things to the next level. Green onions are also a must. Appreciate the video and love the fact that kimchi is such an important part of your life!

      You mean 무? It's a radish, but does look more similar to a turnip. I was going to leave a message for her to leave a gap if no one else had told her, thanks :). If someone can't find Korean radish, Daikon is the closest thing that most American stores have. It's not exactly the same, but it will do in a pinch.

    An old lady at the market kind of guilted me into buying this kimchi cabbage, and I had everything else on hand so I tried to make this recepies. I thought I screwed it up with a bit too much chilli and garlic but I started eating it just today and to my surprise it's absolutely delicious. The old lady at the market will be proud of me. I'll buy another one soon.

    Lots of questions regarding some of the ingredients. I’ve only been making kimchi for a few years but I thought these notes might help:
    1. You can sub soy sauce for the fish sauce if you don’t eat fish. Korean fish sauce is made with anchovies but many brands of Thai and Viet fish sauce may contain shell fish. Korean soup soy sauce is better than Japanese style but either works
    2. Glutinous rice powder contains no gluten. It’s called that because of the texture when cooked. It has more of the sticky type of rice starch. You can skip it completely. It’s there to help the paste stick to the leaves. You can sub other starch pastes as well but they can alter the taste a little.
    3. Any cabbage works, savoy and plain old green head cabbage work just as well as Napa. You know it’s done salting when the leaves are pliable and you can fold them almost in half before they break. You can also taste a leaf, it should still have a juicy texture and not be too salty.

      Crimson Hikari for this type of kimchi, no. Many of the flakes I’ve seen as substitutes are either too coarse or too spicy. Korean pepper flakes are available from amazon if you have no other source. Your other option is white kimchi, which is not spicy and doesn’t need the flakes.

    Some of my secrets that give the kimchi a deeper flavor:
    • Rather than using plain water, use a kelp and shiitake mushroom broth when making the rice porridge
    • Use Korean salted shrimps as well
    • I never add sugar, I feel the pear/apple and rice porridge adds sweetness
    • Add blended fresh red bell peppers in the paste
    • Garlic chives give a nice flavor

      To be invited to "Kimjang" is an honor; your friend's mom must've liked you, because you got the fun part... Our bratty asses were always either put on garlic-peeling duty (no knife; fingernails only) or told to go away until the kimchi is ready (at least 3 weeks)... Korean moms definitely have their own standards for what constitutes "fun".. and btw, don't ever tell your Korean mom that you have a toothache; She'll tie a string around it and rip it out of your skull, and then ask if there's anything else bothering you! (.... "No 엄마, I feel fine... Got any garlic that needs peeling?")

    My mom does this similarly, a tip, I could share that my mom does is that she saves those plastic pizza protectors (that small plastic circle with the 3-4 legs that's placed in the middle of a pizza box to keep the box from crushing the pizza) and cuts the legs to size so she can use it to push the cabbage down while it is fermenting in a jar. She inverts the plastic circle, like the circle plastic is on the kimchi side while the legs are on the lid's side. so when she loosely seal the jar, all the cabbage pieces are submerged in the brine.

    I lived in South Korea for a year and a half. I was addicted to kimchi. I make kimchi myself and get my recipes from a few books from Korean cooks. It is the best way to get fresh kimchi if there’s not a good Korean market nearby.
    I always rinse my vegetables well after soaking in the salt water otherwise it’s too salty. I use a little rice wine vinegar in water to top off the jar if I need to keep the vegetables submerged after I start using it.
    I also like to add slivered fresh red jalapeño to give it a bite. The Korean peppers have a lot of flavor but not much heat. It pairs well with the garlic.
    Love it with daikon, easy to make and economical.
    If you don’t like fish sauce, buy a nice soy sauce from an Asian market and add about half as much. Avoid the mass produced US brands. They’re not very good.
    Other recipes add oysters, shrimp and I think fresh squid. I use water packed oyster drained, rinsed and chopped with a little soy sauce instead of fish sauce.
    Great video. Super healthy dish. Thanks.
    FYI: if you buy real kimchi at a real Korean market, don’t be surprised if you get some minor cold symptoms. A lot of westerners get it when they first go to Korea. I did too. Years later, I bought a gallon jug of kimchi brought from a Korean market and got the same thing again. I built up my immunity again in a few weeks.

    • @jvance6
      @jvance6 5 років тому +5

      I never once heard Kimchi will give you cold symptoms.
      I know a lot of waygooks (foreigners) get sick when they first visit, but I personally think it has more to do with more exposure to more people especially little kids coughing directly in your face, and maybe new allergens that they haven't adjusted to.

      I don’t think it was specific to the kimchi in Korea. It was just general environment. I had a good case of the crud for 2-3 weeks.
      I got it again after being in the states for several years when I bought a gallon of kimchi made in Korea. It was deja vu all over again. All of the same symptoms.
      I kept on eating the kimchi though.
      Built up my resistance again. It’s to be expected as kimchi is a live cultured food and will carry the environment along with it.
      I wouldn’t have known if I hadn’t been through it before.

      @@blisterbill8477 That's normal for travelling anywhere. You're exposed to new strains of bacteria and whatnot that aren't native to your home country, so your immune system hadn't developed a defense to it yet. The similar symptoms later in the states was probably a coincidence. All the foreign people studying or working abroad will likely get sick. I even got sick going home to the states after being in China for 2 years, when I'm normally pretty healthy and resilient LOL! XD

    Well Emmy, I have watched this episode many times and finally, this week, collected all the ingredients, prepped most of them before hand and had my daughter come over for the assembly and jar-stuffing. (I have enormous hands and there is no way that was going to work) Every thing went very well and it looks just like yours. It is resting now. I will try it after 48 hours. It was fun. I included the sweet radish. I tried a slice and it tasted a lot like an American Turnip. not quite the same, but very close. Thanks Emmy update: It is now 48 hours later. tried some and it was great. flavor, heat, garlic punch, everything you said. Thanks, love the show.

    Kim Chi on biscuits and sausage gravy!!! Yummo!
    I'm a total west coast US woman who tried kim chi for the first time at a Japanese friend's home. I was hooked instantly. It was bought from an Asian market in the city , too far to shop very often (I live in a small town of less than 10,000). It was expensive, too. I decided it was something I had to have so I found a recipe. Surprisingly, I only had to buy the fresh vegetables and the Korean chili (gochugaru?) - I had everything else on hand. It came out fabulous! I have been making kim chi for about 10 years now. My recipe uses 2 heads of Napa cabbage and that can make a lot. It is usually between 5-8 pint jars or even more. I am the only one in the house that likes it so I usually have extra to share. Once my jars begin to ferment, I drive around town playing *Kim Chi Fairy*, giving jars to those friends I know love this tasty treat.

    When I make sauerkraut I use glass weights to keep the cabbage packed down, I leave an inch and a half or so of head space in the jar and I have lids with built in airlocks. It keeps air from getting in the jar, lets the gases out of the jar and prevents the brine from heaving out of the jar. I don't know if it would work the same for kimchi but it's worth a try.

    thanks for sharing this kimchi recipe. i can suggest some methods korean people use in their kimchi for variation. first, you don't need to salt the vegetables other than cabbage, like the carrot. especially if they are finely cut they will have the tendency to become soggy. koreans don't use carrot in traditional kimchi even though i see it a lot in western recipes. instead, try korean mu radish or daikon cut in a similar way, but a bit thicker so that it doesn't break. daikon is really, really similar to mu radish and in fact the taste is almost identical. you can just add that to the jang (sauce) before you dress the cabbage and, when combined with the cabbage, will ferment naturally. also you can just slice the round onions finely into strips and you don't need to grate it, to save effort. also recommended to add some green onion cut into two inch pieces, white part halved vertically first. the flavor of the green onions in the kimchi is very addicting. the older generation in korea don't usually add plain sugar but sometimes korean pear or apple. my favorite sweetener is something called maeshilchung, the syrup of ume plum, which is delicious. other than that, i used apple myself to good results. however, for the first day or two the kimchi was quite brown. i was worried i ruined the kimchi. after the initial ferment the color became red again but i still prefer maeshilchung which doesn't affect the color at any point. also, i have made vegetarian kimchi before using the strong broth of dried shiitake mushroom and a lot of dashima/konbu seaweed. in order to replicate the flavor of fish sauce i used a little soy sauce too. it can help to know this variation in case you want to serve kimchi to vegetarian friends. have fun making kimchi emmy!
