For a beginner to Korean cuisine, this is a perfect way to be introduced to this Korean favourite. Kimchi making process can be tedious and may take time including the fermentation process and the taste may not be for every one. What I love about this recipe is the simplicity and if you like some spice and flavour, you have to try this! Check the Time stamps below to skip to a specific point within the video
You can get the Korean ingredients in Korean Markets near you but you could try the recipe with ingredients that you can get based on the description I have shared on the video.

Geotjeori(Fresh Kimchi)

Ingredients

1 large Chinese cabbage
3 cups cold water
1/2 cup Korean kimchi sea salt or 1/3 cup regular salt
7 cloves garlic, chopped
8 tbsp gochugaru, (Korean red pepper flakes)
2 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp Korean soup soy sauce or light soy sauce
3 tbsp Korean green plum extract (you can substitute with apricot jam)
4 to 6 spring onions, cut into halves lengthwise then cut into 2 inch(5cm) long pieces
2 tsp sesame seeds
salt to taste

Procedure
Ensure the cabbage you have is fresh and without visible dirt.
Cut it into half then into quarters and remove the smaller inner leaves placing them into a bowl. For the larger leaves, cut them lengthwise to have smaller pieces.
Dilute the salt in cold water then add to the bowl with the cabbage and allow to sit for about 1 hour. After about 30 minutes turn the cabbage so that the top comes to the bottom.
To make the paste, on a small bowl with the gochugaru add the chopped garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce and plum extract/apricot jam, mix well adding little water to get a moist/semi wet paste
When the cabbage is ready drain the salty water and rinse at least 3 times and allow to drain off on a colander.
Add the paste to the cabbage and mix well until evenly combined based on the amount of cabbage you have.
Serve fresh as a salad accompaniment to plain rice and some meat of your choice.
