My favorite is kimchee

5 pounds napa cabbage, cut into 1-inch, bite-sized pieces ▢1/2 cup sea salt ▢1 cup water SEASONINGS FOR KIMCHI: ▢1/2 medium sweet onion ▢1 bulb garlic, peeled ▢1/4 cup water ▢1/2 cup red pepper powder ▢1 bundle green onions, julienned

INSTRUCTIONS

Place cabbage in a very large bowl. Mix together sea salt and water and stir until sea salt has dissolved. Pour over cabbage and mix together with your hands. Let sit for 1.5-2 hours.

In the meantime, blend together onion and garlic with 1/4 cup water to create a puree. Pour into a medium bowl then mix together with red pepper powder and green onions. If you are making a separate radish kimchi, save a bit of this mixture for the radish kimchi.

Once the cabbage has significantly wilted, rinse cabbage to get most of the salt water off. Place back into the very large bowl then toss the cabbage with the red pepper seasoning mixture until well-coated.

Place seasoned kimchi into a large mason jar and using your fist, punch down the cabbage to compress it all in the jar. Keep stuffing the jar until it's completely full and use another jar, if needed.

Tightly close the lid on the mason jar(s) and leave out at room temperature overnight. Taste the kimchi the next day and if you prefer to have it more sour, leave out for another day or more. If you think it tastes fine after it has sat out overnight the first night, place in the fridge.

    I've never liked cabbage until one of the chefs at work told me I had to at least try curtido with my pupusa I have since changed my mind on cabbage. If you like pickled anything I highly recommend.

    How do I make cabbage not smell and taste like poopie? My mom made cabbage soup a lot when I was a kid, I hated it, and I have never eaten cabbage since except like in chinese takeout.

    Is it just me or is there a method to cooking it so it doesn't give off sewage vibes?

      You could try roasting it but tbh if you don't like the taste of cooked cabbage, don't cook it. Try slicing it thinly and mixing it up with an acid (vinegar or lime juice are my faves) and some salt and pepper to make a basic slaw. Let it sit for about 20-30 minutes to get tangy. You can add other veggies like shredded carrrots or minced hot peppers, extra seasoning like cumin or mustard, kind of whatever sounds good to you tbh.

      It's a bit more work but you might also like curtido, a Latin American cabbage relish that's often served with tacos, fish, and the like.

      I use it raw, thinly sliced, in a slaw doesnt give that off. Lightly steaming it is usually how its prepared for Chinese takeout

    Okonomiyaki! Watching Ranma 1/2 in my weeb phase made me try and make them and I just fell in love. I will type up my vegan recipe later if I remember.
