- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon white sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 cup Sriracha
- 6 green onions, white and green parts, sliced

- Day One: Cut the cabbage into quarters, then into rough 1-inch square pieces, discarding the core.
- Put the cabbage in a large nonreactive mixing bowl and toss with the salt.
- Let the cabbage sit for 2 hours at room temperature.
- Add the water, making sure the cabbage is completely submerged in brine.
- Cover and leave out overnight.
- Day Two: In the morning, drain the cabbage, rinse, and squeeze out any excess moisture.
- Place the cabbage in a large bowl and mix with the garlic, ginger, fish sauce, vinegar, sesame seeds, sugar, Sriracha, green onions, and carrot.
- Cover and store at room temperature for as long as youd like it to continue fermenting, checking the flavor after 2 or 3 days.
- Once the desired tang is achieved, transfer the kimchee to canning jars or other airtight containers and store them in the refrigerator.
