Ingredients

  • 1/2 medium Red Onion, sliced thin
  • 2 small carrots, julienned, grated or sliced fine
  • 1 1/4-1 1/2 lbs Napa Cabbage, cored and sliced into 1 inch strips (half a medium head)
  • 1/4 cup Kosher Salt or sea salt
  • 5-6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1-3 teaspoon hot chili sauce or chili flakes
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 3 tablespoons Rice Vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Canola Oil or Corn Oil

Directions

1

In large bowl, combine the red onion, carrots, cabbage, and salt. Add just enough water to cover the vegetables.

2

Let them sit at room temperature overnight. The next day, drain the vegetables.

3

Add the remaining ingredients, and toss well.

4

Chill the salad for at least 1 hour before serving.

5

It will keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.

6

Variation: This kimchi doesn't undergo a fermenting process, as real kimchi does.

7

If you'd like to ferment this kimchi, omit the oil, and put the mixture into a large sterilized jar.

8

Let the kimchi stand at room temperature for 2-4 days, opening the jar once a day to let out the gases that build up.

9

Store the kimchi in the refrigerator after this period.

10

It will keep for several weeks.
