Here's how to make an easy one.

This spicy pickled cabbage can be eaten after a few hours of chilling. Or
you can allow the best taste to develope after 2 to 3 days sitting at room
temperature and then chilling in the refrigerator. Some Kim Chi fans would
prefer the flavor after 7~10 days of fermentation when it then begins to
sour and become tart/tangy.

2 lbs. nappa cabbage
1/4 cup sea salt (regular un-iodide salt can be substituted)
water
3 green onions, slivered
3-4 inches daikon radish, shredded, plus any liquid from the radish
1 shredded carrot
2 minced cloves garlic
1 tsp. minced ginger root
2-4 tbs. ground red peppers or to taste
1 tbs. toasted sesame seeds


1. Cut cabbage lengthwise into halves or quarters. Put cabbage pieces into
a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt on each layer (leafs). Add water just to
cover cabbage. Soak several hours or overnight (overnight preferred). You
should have a wilting effect take place.

2. Drain cabbage; rinse in cool water. Drain well. Add the remaining
ingredients and mix well. Rub the mixture over the cabbage and between the
layers. Fold cabbage into bundles. Store in an air-tight container.

Refrigerate for several hours before eating. (see instructions above)

3. Before serving, unfold bundles and cut into slices. Put the slices in
a group on a serving platter. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 10 days.
