Today, I will show you how to make delicious nabak kimchi.

How to make Nabakmul Kimchi
[ingredient]
1kg of Napa cabbage
1 radish (1.8kg)
For pickling: 4 tablespoons of salt
A handful of chives (100g)
8 tablespoons of red pepper powder
4 tablespoons anchovy fish sauce
3.6 liters of bottled water
1 tablespoon of sea salt
1 red chili pepper
Ingredients to blend in a blender:
500ml pear juice
1 red bell pepper
1 onion
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 tablespoon of ginger
2 tablespoons of cooked rice
1 apple
3 red chili peppers
3 Cheongyang peppers






[ Step 1: Preparing Vegetables ]
Wash the Napa cabbage and radish thoroughly and cut them into appropriate sizes.
Cut the Napa cabbage into pieces about 2-3 cm long, and
Please slice the radish thinly to a thickness of 0.2 cm.
Cut the chives into 3cm lengths.
I also chopped up some carrots into small pieces and prepared a little for color.


[ Step 2: Pickling Vegetables]
Place the chopped Napa cabbage and radish in a large bowl, and the salt for pickling
Sprinkle evenly and let it marinate for about 30 minutes.
Please stir it once or twice while marinating to ensure it is evenly marinated.
If you salt the vegetables for too long, the water kimchi may become salty later.
It is best to marinate it just right to maintain a crunchy texture.




Use a sieve or cheesecloth to collect the red pepper water
Please make it for me
(Add 8 tablespoons of red pepper powder to 500ml of water)
After mixing, strain through a sieve to make water kimchi.
Make red pepper powder kimchi broth like this
It tastes clean and refreshing when used, which is nice.









[ Step 3: Making the Seasoning ]
Pear juice, paprika, onion, minced garlic, ginger, in a blender
Add Cheongyang chili peppers, red chili peppers, leftover rice, and apples, and grind them finely.




After pouring 3.6L of bottled water into the kimchi container
The chili powder water prepared in advance and ground in a blender
Add the seasoning liquid and mix.
Next, 4 tablespoons of anchovy fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of sea salt,
Add 1/3 tablespoon of New Sugar until the salt dissolves.
Please stir well.




Do not rinse the pre-salted napa cabbage kimchi and radishes,
Please put it directly into the kimchi container.
If you taste the kimchi broth lightly and it is bland
You just need to season with salt.


It's really delicious if you add scallions and red chili peppers.
