1/4 cup (60ml) fish sauce
1/3 cup (80ml) chili paste or 1/2 cup Korean chili powder
1 bunch green onions, cut into 1-inch (3cm) lengths (use the dark green part, too, except for the tough ends)
1 medium daikon radish, peeled and grated
1 teaspoon sugar or honey

Here is how you make Kimchi:

1. Slice the cabbage lengthwise in half, then slice each half lengthwise into 3 sections. Cut away the tough stem chunks.2. Dissolve the salt in the water in a very large container, then submerge the cabbage under the water. Put a plate on top to make sure they stay under water, then let stand for 2 hours.3. Mix the other ingredients in a very large metal or glass bowl.4. Drain the cabbage, rinse it, and squeeze it dry.5. Here's the scary part: mix it all up.6. Pack the kimchi in a clean glass jar large enough to hold it all. Let stand for two days in a cool place, around room temperature.7. Check the kimchi after two days. If it's bubbling a bit, it's ready and can be refrigerated. If not, let it stand 1-2 more days, when it should be ready.8. Once it's fermenting, serve or store in the refrigerator. If you want, add a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds over the kimchi for serving.Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MALEFICENT1964.
