[@lipiemmacha]

Hi Jia Choi, I made this kimchi recipe at home and my family loved it! I made some little changes as well: 1) I used artificial vinegar as I don't have rice vinegar. The taste was still good. 2) I found that the amount of coarse salt for the brine made the cabbage too salty when I tasted a little bit of it, so I had to wash it many more times to reduce the saltiness than the video 😅 Only then I mixed it with the sauce 3) I also fermented it for 2 days in room temperature as I'm looking for the health benefits from the probiotics. Turned out great 👍 Thank you! ❤

[@JiaChoiChef]

Thank you for the feedback. The amount of salt used in kimchi may change a bit depending on what type of salt you used. I like the idea of tasting it and reducing the salt and washing the cabbage enough. Great job!

[@lipiemmacha]

@@JiaChoiChef I see! I will keep that in mind 😄 Thank you, it was a fun experiment 😆

[@rikimaruroshi1498]

I saw some people salted their cabbage for only 30 mins. And this lady's recipe did it for an hour, maybe because her cabbage was a lot of bigger.

I will try this. I need kimchi for extra probiotics but I can't get the spicy one due to my gastritis.

[@JiaChoiChef]

아기들도 먹기 좋겠네요. 실은 매운걸 잘 못 드시는, 위장이 약하거나 연세드신 어르신들이 많이 좋아하는 김치에요. 저는 평소에도 자주 만들어 먹는답니다. 어떤 음식이랑도 잘 어울려서 인기있는 메뉴 중 하나에요 ^ ^

[@user-du8sd1kw1f]

ive just made this for the second time and works out well everytime I've tried loads of types of kimchi and this has to be my favourite recipe the bell pepper gives it a really nice fresh taste i did not chop the nappa cabbage up i made it pogi style❤ thank you jia😊

[@saasie7233]

Love it! I was wondering if you can let it ferment for more than 6hrs? Or is that an absolute nono?

[@JiaChoiChef]

The time for the fermentation may vary depending on the room temperature and you taste. Yes, you may ferment it for a day or two days, and then put in a refrigerator. : )

[@Latifamm]

Lovely kimchi recipe and I like how you simplified it. I just have one question please, how much salt did you put for half cabbage, is it half cup? Where do I store it in the fridge or out the fridge? Thank you so much 🌺🌸

[@JiaChoiChef]

Hello! I add 10% of salt to the cabbage weight. If you're using 600g of cabbage, sprinkle 60g of coarse salt, and it'll brine well. After making kimchi, put it in room temperature for 6 hours then place it in a refrigerator. : )

[@vickybray8068]

I just found your website and watched your video. Every time I buy it in the food store. I bring it home. I taste it and throw it away. I like yours it’s non-spicy and it’s simple to make it according to your instructions. I will be buying my cabbage. I did see your response to somebody about fermenting it at room temperature since I am looking for health fermented kimchi I will follow those directions. You said 1 to 2 days at room temperature depending on the temperature. Am I looking for bubbles or am I looking for a sour taste? Thank you very much. Can’t wait to look at the rest of your videos!

[@JiaChoiChef]

This kimchi doesn't require long fermentation. I like the refreshing taste. Let it starts the fermentation at room temperature for about 1 day. Then put it in the refrigerator. Don't wait until bubbles or sour taste. : )

[@vickybray8068]

Thank you very much for taking the time to respond to me!❤

Can I Can this kim chi to save for down the road?

💚💚💚Thank you very much Chef! I will replace honey by sugar and use appel cider vinegar, hope it's ok :)

[@JiaChoiChef]

It'll taste great!

[@Taurui]

Technically not vegan if you are using honey, but it should be easy to substitute with agave sirup or something similar. Thanks for the recipe, will try it out :)

[@germanbyrabia]

Kimchi looks amazing. I was wondering if one can substitute the napa cabbage with the red cabbage just for a change maybe?

[@JiaChoiChef]

I think you may. Just make sure to brine the red cabbage well, to have a crunchy nice texture. The color might look great! : )

[@germanbyrabia]

@@JiaChoiChef thanks 🙂

[@shiningcomet]

I'm addicted already 😍 I saw another recipe for non spicy kimchi but didn't follow it as it is , changed a little in it and told my self I didn't make the original thing 😕 then found your video and you just make something I was going to make , I watched two videos and was confused a little , was there radish in the sauce or not ? Didn't use what I bought the discovered that one recipe have them chopped , the other have them in the sauce , yours don't have them 😁

[@JiaChoiChef]

There're lots of different recipes for kimchi and they taste all different. For this type of kimchi, I didn't add radish. It's simple to make and refreshing! : )

[@shiningcomet]

@@JiaChoiChef I liked the first one I made and so excited to follow your recipe 😍 , from the videos I have watched I came to learn there are many different recipes

[@MelliBibLi]

Hello, thank you for the great Video❤. I have a question: I can not eat garlic, onion only a little or (soy sauce, at least it's in the original Kimchi) because I'm Histamine intolerant. Can I just do it without those ingredients? So for the summer version, no garlic and less onion? Thank you so much☺️

[@JiaChoiChef]

Kimchi that is eaten in the temple in Korea is made without garlic and onion but still tastes great. So you may make it as you mentioned but make sure to season your kimchi well, to fit you taste and keep in the fridge for about 3 days before eating! : )

[@user-vf1qo1kn3x]

Ive just made this but with fish sauce intstead of kelp broth as im not vegan well some days i am 😊😊

[@JiaChoiChef]

It sounds delicious! It was a smart twist. : )

[@maryduff8831]

This may or may not be a stupid question but could I add ssam jang to this as well?

[@JiaChoiChef]

No ssamjang is not used for kimchi😔

No ssamjang is not used in kimchi : )

[@cindybrown6769]

Can you let this ferment in fridge for it to last longer. If I do this do I have to add something to it?

[@JiaChoiChef]

It's better to let it start fermenting at room temperature. Allow it to sit at room temperature (15 to 22 degrees Celsius or 59 to 71.6 degrees Fahrenheit) for at least 6 hours. Fermentation may not easily start in the fridge because it's too cold. : )

[@jade8417]

May I know how long to ferment the kimchi and let it be ready to eat?

[@JiaChoiChef]

This kimchi doesn't need to be fermented. I put in room temperature for about 2 hours and then refrigerate it. Eat from next day!

[@melissadokos8513]

How long can you keep it in the refrigerator ?

[@JiaChoiChef]

I normally keep it for about 2 weeks. : )

[@DocSue]

You don't keep the kimchi tightly in jars for a few days to let it ferment?

[@JiaChoiChef]

I don't ferment it for a few days. Just put in a room temperature for a half day and then refrigerate it. This salad doesn't have to be fermented. I like to eat as fresh kimchi!

Can we use paprika/orange bell pepper to radish Kimchi (both Kkakdugi and pony tail) and Green onion Kimchi, pls answer me tnx

[@piasethi5234]

Can one use bokchoy instead? Have lots growing at home

[@JiaChoiChef]

I haven't tried it using bokchoy but I believe it will work well. I recommend brining the bok choy with less salt (using coarse salt, about 5% of the bok choy's weight) and for a shorter duration (about 30 minutes), as bok choy leaves are softer. I hope you create a delicious bok choy kimchi! :)

The seasoning (fish sauce/salted shrimp, chilies, sugar) 5. The booster (sweet apple or pear, starch porridge, syrup, etc) Even the north Korean version is often to use semi dried salted fish like anchovy, shrimp, etc

can i brine the cabbage for 30 minutes? i accidentally make the sauce too much, now i wanna add the cabbage only

[@JiaChoiChef]

It depends on the room temperature. If it's below 10 celsious degrees brine it for about 45 minutes, until the cabbage wilts a bit. I hope you make it successfully. I eat this kimchi like salad, even with pasta and steak. : )

How is this non spicy, every red paprika is different and can vary in spice, there isn’t a way to know if it is spicy or not.

I used red bell pepper which is not spicy. If you really don't want it spicy omit the smoked paprika powder : )

[@cecilbrisley5185]

Oh, I don't know..... maybe use a paprika that is less spicy then? There is a way to test the spice level of a paprika. It involves two complex pieces of culinary equipment called your tongue and brain. The tongue collects the sample and sends information to the brain where it is processed. Simply place a small sample of a paprika on the tongue, then wait and see if a pain level is registered by the brain. Quite a reliable way of gauging spice levels!
