Instructions
  1. Cut the cabbage lengthwise into 4 parts, add salt and place it tightly in a saucepan or cup.
  2. Pour the cabbage with brine so that the top sheets are completely covered. I put an inverted saucer on top of the cabbage so that the top leaves would not float up, and covered it with a newspaper on top. Leave the pot of cabbage for 2 days in a warm place. To prepare the brine, take 2 tablespoons of salt per liter of water. In hot boiled water, dissolve the salt, and put it to cool. Fill with cold brine. For 1 head of cabbage, I took 1.5 liters of brine.
  3. After 2 days, prepare the cabbage dressing.
  4. Grind fresh pepper (without seeds) with garlic in a mortar (blender, meat grinder), add chili pepper, crushed coriander, grated ginger, vegetable oil, you can also add a pinch of salt.
  5. Rinse the salted cabbage under running water, squeeze, cut into squares, mix with the dressing, put it in a plastic container, close the lid and put it back in a warm place for 1-2 days for fermentation. Then store in the refrigerator. When serving, sprinkle with sesame seeds and fresh herbs. If you cook a lot of kimchi and it is supposed to be stored in the refrigerator for a long time, it is not necessary to add vegetable oil.
