Main Ingredients
- 1 Korean Radish (5 Cups)
- 2 Green Onions
- 1 Tbsp Salt
Sauce Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp Sweet Rice Flour
- ½ Cup Water
- 4 Tbsp Red Pepper Powder
- 3 Tbsp Fish Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1 Tbsp Sugar
- ½ Tbsp Ginger
- ½ Tbsp Salt
Directions
Slice a Korean radish into ½-inch slices.
Dice about 5 cups of Korean radish and cut 2 green onions into half inch pieces.
Sprinkle 1 Tbsp of salt on the diced Radish. Let it set for 30 minutes.
Rinse the radish twice in cold water. Drain, and set it aside.
Mix 1 Tbsp sweet rice flour with ½ cup of water. Stir it thoroughly. If you don’t have sweet rice flour, you can use normal flour instead, but sweet rice flour is definitely better for kimchi.
Cook it in the microwave for 1 minute, until the texture is thick, as pictured. One minute later, take it out to stir and then cook it again.
In a large bowl, combine and mix the rice paste and all ingredients for the sauce. I only tried Korean fish sauce to make kimchi, so I recommend that you use Korean fish sauce. Other types of fish sauce might work. If you try another type, let me know the results. 
Add the radish and the chopped green onions into the sauce.
Mix all of the ingredients. Leave it at room temperature for one or two days, and then put it in the refrigerator for at least five days before you serve it.
Enjoy!
Pls can I get d Ingredients in Nigeria store,’s
What does rice powder paste do for the kimchi? Some recipes I see without it and some with it. What if I skip the rice powder paste step?
it helps the fermenting process…and the texture and flavor for the kimchi..
This is my favorite kind of Kimchi, so I’m giving it a try. You make the steps so easy to follow. Thanks!
is this using coarse salt like nappa kimchi, or just regular salt?
hi sheri,
I just used normal salt for this recipe. thanks
Hi, if i wanted to make a smaller portion of this to try, would i just simply adjust the ingredients accordingly?
For example if i wanted to make half portion, just change all the ingredient amounts to 1/2 of yours?
- thanks
Yes. You can divide the recipe in half. Thanks
