Cabbage Kimchee Recipe

Recipe Ingredients

1 lb chinese cabbage
1 lb white radish
3 tbsp salt
2 tbsp finely minced fresh ginger
1 1/2 tbsp minced garlic
5 scallions, cut into fine rounds, in, cluding green
1 tbsp cayenne
1 tsp sugar

Recipe Preparation

If you are using a small, whole cabbage, cut it in half lengthwise,
and then cut it across at 2-inch intervals. If you are using half of
a large cabbage, cut it in half again lengthwise, and then crosswise
at 2-inch intervals.

Peel the white radish, cut it in half lengthwise, and then cut it
crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices. In a large bowl put 5 cups
water and 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons of the salt. Mix. Add the
cabbage and radish to this water and dunk them in a few times as they
have a tendency to float. Leave the vegetables in the salty water.
Cover loosely and set aside for 12 hours. Turn the vegetables over a
few times.

Put the ginger, garlic, scallions, cayenne, sugar, and 1 teaspoon
salt in another large bowl. Mix well.

Take the cabbage out of its soaking liquid with a slotted spoon (save
the liquid) and put it in the bowl with the seasonings. Mix well.

Put this cabbage mixture into a 2-quart jar or crock. Pour enough of
the salt water over it to cover the vegetables (about 2 cups). Leave
1 inch of empty space at the top of the jar. Cover loosely with a
clean cloth and set aside for 3 to 7 days. In the summer, kimchees
mature with much greater speed; in the winter, the process slows
down unless the central heating is ferocious. Taste the pickle after
3 days to check on the sourness. When it is done to your liking,
cover the jar and refrigerate.

To serve, remove just as much of the kimchee solids as you think you
will need for a meal--a cupful is enough for 4 people--and put it in
the center of a bowl. The kimchee liquid in this pickle is left
behind in the jar and may be used to flavor stews and soups. Serve
this cabbage kimchee with any Korean meal.

(Be sure and keep a close eye on the kimchee after the third day. If
mold appears, scoop out the mold, and refrigerate the kimchee
immediately).

Food Tips of the Week

How to Cook Beans
Beans can be tricky to cook properly. One useful tip is to add any salt or seasoning near to the end of the cooking time as they can prevent the beans from softening properly.
This also applies to any acidic ingredients like vinegar or lemon juice.
Ignore people who say you need to add salt at the start of cooking any foods - this is a myth that science has now disproved.
Frozen Fish Can Taste as Good as Fresh!
One of the problems with using frozen fish is that it often tastes bland and stale after it has been defrosted. This can be easily overcome by defrosting the fish in a bowl of milk, which brings back the 'nice' taste of fresh fish.
Blueberries, A Superfood that Tastes Great Too!
Blueberries are packed with phytoflavinoids and antioxidants - both extremely good for your health. They are also rich in vitamin C, something that most of us could do with 'getting a bit more of', and also quite high in potassium. Some expert nutritionalists claim that eating blueberries helps to reduce the risk of serious complaints like cancer and heart disease
