    This is the most proper kimchi tutorial done by a non-Korean person I've ever seen. By the way, you can eat the freshly made kimchi right away. Korean people usually make enormous amount of kimchi at a time and they enjoy the fresh kimchi with some food. It goes really well with 'bossam' which is boiled pork.

    My wife is Korean and she makes a lot of Kimchi. This was very similar to her recipe. The only other thing she does is simmer white flour in water until it is thick and add that to the garlic, ginger, chilli and fish sauce blend. It makes it a bit more of a paste and gives it a more consistent coating. And she says that anchovy sauce is the best kind for Kimchi.

    @MaerdYsatnaf 5 лет назад +748

    This is more Geotjori style of kimchi, or “quick/instant” kimchi. Typically whole cabbage or even cut cabbage kimchi is a 4-6 hour process. A majority of that time is spent soaking the cabbage in a salt water brine. This in itself takes roughly 3 hours. This way you don’t have to “bruise” the cabbage, and the salt is evenly distributed among the cabbage (it’s not only ridding the cabbage of moisture, but seasoning it as well!).
    The mixing paste also usually has a grain starch added. This can either be corn starch or rice flour. The starch is the typically brought to a boil with a broth rich in umami like dashima (or kombu in Japan) broth. The starches will aid the fermentation process, and develop some really nice flavours as well.
    Lastly, most traditional kimchi’s I’ve eaten or made include some type of fermented fish umami, whether its fermented anchovies, young shrimp, or a combination of both. This is usually added in addition to fish sauce.
    Adding fruits like apples or Korean pears, are something of a newer trend I think, but I appreciate it!

    pro-tip for the julien of the carrots.... instead of makeing the planks, just slice it normaly down, like you would make the round little discs, but in an very high angle, so the discs get into big ovals. this is saver to cut, you can cut then thinner, and its WAY faster. stack the ovals up, like a tower of cards, and then pull them flat over your cutting board, so the overleap mostly, cut along the ovals long side and you get wonderful sticks of carrots. the oval discs are made fastest and easiest with an v-fad

    I thought I'd write a quick review on this recipe for those who were confused as to which one would be better. Overall, it worked really really well! It doesn't seem to need any kind of rice flour mixture like other recipes recommended, although it might be improved if you did add it but I wouldn't know. One element that is very unpredictable is the red pepper flakes. I only put in 30g just to be on the safe side and it still turned out very spicy. It really depends on what brand you get - so expect some surprise with how little or how much spice there turns out to be. My batch got pretty tart by the fourth day mark, so maybe check it every day rather than after four days just to be safe. The one thing that I didn't do in the recipe was bruise the cabbage when salting it. I watched another recipe on kimchi and the lady cringed at the sight of bruising it so I thought I'd avoid that (it turned out brilliant without bruising). I left the cabbage in the salt for a few hours (maybe 3) and eventually ended up pouring far too much salt on to speed up the dehydration process until the thick parts of the cabbage could be bent and rolled against itself without snapping (I learnt from another video that this is the correct texture). I probably should have just let it to sit for a few more hours rather than over seasoning it because I had to WASH and WASH the cabbage to get rid of as much salt as I could (and in the process kind of tore up a lot of the delicate parts of the cabbage). Still when tasting it, it was quite noticeably salty, but I felt like I couldn't possibly wash it anymore, so it just went ahead with it. Somehow the batch didn't turn out over salty at all - really great! But maybe that's because the spice is overpowering it. I left my ingredients until the last couple of days before they all went out of date, and was kind of worried that this would ruin the kimchi, but it turned out absolutely fine. I can't say that it wouldn't have tasted better with fresher ingredients though. Lastly, I saw comments about how that is too much ginger - I found it to be a good amount really - you do definitely taste the gingery-ness every couple of mouthfuls - but that isn't a bad thing to me at all. Maybe add 1/2 the amount he recommended if you're not a big fan of ginger on its own. One thing that I was not expecting was how stinky it would be during the fermentation process (because of the gas it produces) and how stinky it would be during storage. In an air tight jar and in the fridge, the fridge smells lightly of kimchi - and when I open he jar to take some out, the room smells noticeably of kimchi. Nothing an open window won't fix but be prepared especially if you're living with others. I've noticed that I like the taste the more I eat it - maybe because in the beginning I was scared to try food that had been sitting out for days - and as time goes on I realise that its safe... But overall super tasty and gets even better once you know what strong flavours to expect.

      @@misskriss848 if you heat the kimchi, as in a pressure canner, you will kill most of the bacteria that are responsible for the fermentation and that are good for the eater. So, if you can it before fermenting, it wont become kimchi. And if you can it after fermentation, you’ll lose much of the health benefits. And, there’s really no need for canning since the kimchi won’t “spoil” in the refrigerator without canning. In the end, canning and fermentation really don’t go together.

      It can be hard to find the authentic ingredients like Mochiko powder and salted shrimp, Korean radish and the right Gochugaru in the US outside of Korean grocers. Just know that there are wide variations in kimchi ingredients once you start looking into it, not one authentic recipe so you can put nearly any seasonal veg in, fresh fish, seafood etc. and while it will change the flavour it’s the fermentation which makes it good for you, your stomach bacteria and by extension your body

Turns out gochugaru comes in multiple granulation sizes. i got super fine gochugaru and used like a cup and a half of it, which mass-for-mass is probably about 8 cups of coarse gochugaru, which is what yo'ure supposed to use generally. 1/4 cup of fine flakes for a batch size like this is perfect for me, but i like spice. My first batch was literally so spicy that the paste seeped into my pores and burned my skin for 3 hours.

      @김대우-l9t 5 лет назад +11

      @@Hikutachama there is a difference to the texture and flavour between chopped-cabbage and the whole-cabbage. When you chop it all and just mix the sauces and ferment it like the vedio does, the gas comes out during the fermenting prosess and that makes the sauce on the surface of the cabbage floats a little bit which has to be attached. So the cabbage doesn't soak up the flavour much and that makes a difference.

    My recipe is NOT traditional but I had to do what I could with the ingredients I had at home. I used normal white cabbage, (I only decided to make kimchi because it didn’t want it to go to waste!), pickling salt, red chili flakes, some paprika for color, coloratura di alici (a Italian fish sauce that’s the direct descendant of the Roman condiment garum), garlic powder, ginger powder, onion powder, a dash (very little don’t worry) of soy sauce, and some MSG powder. It went all according to plan, but there’s quite a bit of extra liquid! It was easy to cover the top. Hopefully it comes out good!!! Wish me luck! 😅

    One tip from my mom’s recipe, blending paprika and rice into a paste and adding that to the sauce. The paprika adds color and a fresh tang and doesn’t bother the natural taste of kimchi, and the rice element helps along the fermentation process. Highly recommend this! Also a lot of traditional recipes call for Korean pears to be blended into a paste and added as well but I don’t think you can find those outside Asia very easily.

    If you want to buy a jar before making it to make sure you like it, keep in mind that kimchi comes in a huge variety of flavor. I've bought kimchi that tasted so different it might as well have been another dish entirely. Also, keep in mind that kimchi doesn't stay fresh in room temperature for ever. Many stores (in my country) buy kimchi in bulk and let them sit in the store for weeks or months at room temperature. This makes it quite mushy and can give it an off-flavor (but still being safe to eat).

    As a Korean-American, I would recommend putting fresh, raw oysters, crab, shrimp, etc with the kimchi to give a richer flavor.
