Appreciate the way you say the ratio of ingredients per cabbage if people want to make a small batch. Very helpful

[@kellyngxyen]

thank you!! and just a quick correction: they used 3/4 cups of fish sauce for 7 cabbages (~0.11 cup per cabbage according to the video). same with the tuna sauce, 1/2 cup was for 7 cabbages but i cant do the math for 1 😂

Hi!! I doubt you'll get to read this but I tried Mama Kim's recipe. It's my first time to make kimchi and it's insanely better than store bought and restaurant kimchi!! I couldn't compute how much ingredients I needed for a smaller batch so I just followed this video's ingredients completely (maths ain't a friend of mine) and now I have about 15lbs of delicious kimchi in my fridge. Thank you so much! Thank you Mama Kim!!

did you ferment it, and if so in the fridge? covered lid?

[@lkaayla]

YES!! I've been watching your videos only on Facebook and I never thought about searching you on KZbin. Your videos are soothing, nothing too crazy, so calm. And especially watching you eat and doing those quick ASMR while you're chewing on a kimchi radish, ugh, so satisfying. Love your videos girly!

[@daisytran1634]

This is the best kimchi I’ve ever made. I only let it ferment for 3 days tho because we like it more fresh than sour.

[@DereckBenjamin06]

I decided to make it because my store bought one had been in the fridge for a lil too long and fermented a bit, it was SO sour. I like mine a bit but not too much, though, it might have been easier to do if I had a blender!

[@norbertdaignault3351]

I have to say I love you guys. This recipe for kimchi is now a hit with my wife who never usually eats it at all. I myself enjoy it a lot but I don’t like store bought. My wife doesn’t like store bought kimchi nor eats it at all till this amazing recipe. I’ve won my wife over to eat kimchi & she loves this recipe. Highly recommend trying this. Thanks Ladies & especially your mom for sharing.

@@Eternal-xi2ni It went good for a first try. I cut their recipe in half since it was my first time. I checked on day 3 and it wasnt fermented enough, but I check tonight (day 6) and it was WAY too sour and did not have that umami sweet flavor I like in my kimchi. I added asian pear but I did not add any other sweetener. I was able to put some kimchi in a stew to eat it but other than that, I wouldnt eat it. I froze a bag of it and threw away the rest. Going to try again in a week :)
