When I first opened up the Vegetarian Kimchi that I bought in Korea, it tasted like cabbage in my homemade Chicken Rice Chilli Sauce, to me! That was my first impression and with that feeling in mind, I created this recipe and no cooking involved. Omit garlic and double the amount of ginger if desired. Next, I might be making Cucumber Kimchi in this manner but using chilli power instead of fresh chilli.
Preparation: 20 mins, standing time 4.5 hrs
Ingredients (serves 6-8)
400g Chinese cabbage, cut into small sections
4 tablespoons salt
For marinade
5 fresh chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
50g garlic, finely chopped
25g ginger, finely chopped
60ml apple cider vinegar
½ teaspoon salt or to taste
1 tablespoon sugar or to taste
Method
1. Place the cabbage in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Set aside for 30 minutes, then rinse and drain well, squeezing out any excess moisture.
2. Meanwhile, to make the marinade: combine all the marinade ingredients in bowl and mix well. Set aside
3. Transfer the cabbage and marinade into a glass bottle. Mix well and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hour prior to serving.

ReplyDeleteHi SF,
ReplyDeleteCreating this recipe blog has already taken most of my time :p, from thinking what recipe to create, buying ingredients, go by gut feeling on the seasoning, cooking, taking photo and uploading, cleaning up, typing out, posting, checking on comments, replying emails...

To replace fresh chilli, use 1.5 tablespoon chilli powder.
ReplyDeleteTo have softer cabbage, blanched the cabbage instead.
