Kimchi Preparation

Prepare the Cabbage
Cut the Napa cabbage into quarters and remove the core. Chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces.

Salting
In a large bowl, sprinkle the chopped cabbage with salt and mix well. Let it sit for about 1-2 hours to wilt and release moisture.

Rinse and Drain
After 2 hours, rinse the cabbage under cold water to remove excess salt. Drain well and set aside.

Mix the Kimchi Paste
In a bowl, combine Korean red pepper flakes, minced garlic, grated ginger, fish sauce, sugar, and chopped green onions. Mix well to form a paste.

Combine Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, add the drained cabbage, julienned carrots, and the kimchi paste. Mix thoroughly until all the vegetables are well coated.

Ferment
Pack the kimchi mixture into a clean jar, pressing it down to remove air bubbles. Leave some space at the top for fermentation. Let it ferment at room temperature for 1-2 days, then refrigerate.
