Quick Kimchi
- 2 Napa cabbages
- 1 medium Asian radish (daikon)
- 1/4 cup coarse sea salt or kosher salt
- Water
- 4 green onions, sliced into pieces about 1-inch long
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- Thoroughly wash the leaves of the Napa cabbages and cut them into about 2-inch lengths.
- Peel the Asian radish and halve it lengthwise down the center, cut lengthwise again, and then slice into 1/2-inch thin squares.
- Dissolve the salt in 1 cup water.
- Place the vegetables in a large bowl and pour the salt water over them.
- Let soak at least 6 hours or preferably overnight.
- The next day, drain the vegetables and retain the salty water.
- Add the green onions, garlic, ginger, and chili powder.
- Mix the vegetables by hand (use gloves because the chili may sting and stain your hands).
- Pack into a 1-gallon jar.
- Pour the salted water over the mixture.
- Leave about an inch of space on top of the jar.
- Let sit about 2 or 3 days, depending on how warm the weather is and how fermented you like your kimchi.
- Refrigerate after opening.
