Gathering Ingredients
The creator collects Napa cabbage, watermelon radish, spring onions, peppers (including baby bells and habaneros), and garlic from their garden and greenhouse.
[00:29]
Preparing Vegetables
Rough chops about 2 lb of cabbage, washes it, and lets it sit for 1-2 hours after salting. Slices watermelon radish into matchsticks and separates spring onion whites from greens.
[00:56]
Making the Paste
Blends peppers, green onion ends, six cloves of garlic, and a tablespoon of salt. Notes this is not a traditional spicy kimchi paste but uses garden peppers.
[01:10]
Salting and Mixing
After an hour, the salt has drawn out water from the cabbage. Rinses off the salt, mixes with radish and green onion, then combines with the paste.
[01:25]
Fermenting and Final Result
Fills two jars with the mixture, seals them, and lets them ferment for one week. The result is a funky, bubbly kimchi that the creator says they will put on everything.
The video demonstrates a simple, garden-to-jar kimchi recipe that emphasizes using fresh, homegrown ingredients and a custom pepper paste, resulting in a flavorful fermented condiment after one week.
