Easy Homemade Kimchi

If you’re not familiar with kimchi, it’s a Korean side dish/recipe component made of fermented vegetables and seasonings. The result is spicy, kind of pungent (in a good way), completely delicious, and incredibly versatile. This is not traditional, authentic kimchi, but it’s super easy, tastes amazing, and uses only ingredients that you can find in a standard grocery store.
