Kimchi, the easy way ✨😌 Mak kimchi (literally Kimchi, the easy way ✨😌
Mak kimchi (literally easy kimchi) is one of the most fail-safe and delicious fermented foods you can make. Unlike many fermentation recipes that have several technicalities, this is super simple to make! It’s also easier than the traditional method which requires a thorough application of the kimchi paste to whole napa cabbage leaves. 

Once you make it, it’s an amazing addition to a wide variety of dishes (such as fried rice, stews, and Korean pancakes)!

Ingredients
1 large napa cabbage, 3-4 lbs
1/3 cup salt
6 green onions, julienned
1 cup julienned daikon
1/4 cup julienned carrot

Porridge
1 cup water 
2 tbsp glutinous rice flour 
1 tbsp sugar 

Kimchi Paste
9 garlic cloves
2 inches ginger
1/2 Asian pear or apple, optional
1/4 cup minced onion (about 1/4 medium onion)
1/4 cup fish sauce
1/3 cup gochugaru, Korean red pepper flakes

Instructions
Prep the Cabbage
1. Discard the discolored outer leaves of napa cabbage.
2. Cut the cabbage lengthwise into quarters and remove the core. Chop it up into roughly one-inch chunks.
3. Place the cabbage into a large bowl and toss with 1/3 cup of salt and 1 cup of water.
4. Every 45 minutes or so, turn the cabbage over to salt evenly.
5. After 2 hours, the cabbage pieces should be flexible and bendy. Rinse the cabbage at least 3 times to clean it thoroughly and remove excess salt.
6. Drain and set aside.

Make the Porridge
1. Whisk the porridge ingredients together in a small saucepan until smooth.
2. Cook over medium/medium-high heat and stir constantly until the porridge begins to bubble. It should be thickened and slightly translucent. Set aside to cool.

Kimchi Paste
1. Blend the garlic, ginger, onion, and optional pear/apple in a food processor.
2. Mix the purree with the porridge, fish sauce, and gochugaru.

Mix everything together
1. Mix the kimchi paste, green onions, daikon, carrot, and cabbage together.
2. Taste and adjust the seasoning to taste.
3. Put the kimchi into an air-tight plastic container or glass jar. You can eat it immediately or wait until it’s fermented!
