Ingredients

  • 4 lb Chinese cabbage (the long- Straight leafed variety)
  • 1/4 lb Chinese turnip
  • 2 can Flat anchovies
  • 4 x Cloves Garlic (or 5)
  • 3 x Scallions
  • 1/4 cup Salt
  • 4 tbl Hot Pepper flakes
  • 2 tbl Cayenne Pepper

Directions

1

Remove the large outside leaves of the cabbage. Cut them in half lengthwise, then cut across the grain into 2-inch lengths. Cut all the inside leaves into 2-inch lengths at the same time. Place the cabbage in a very large pot.

2

Quarter the turnip, then slice across the grain holding the 4 quarters together for more speed and convenience in slicing.

3

Pour the oil from the anchovies over the cabbage and turnip. Slice the anchovies across the grain. Crush the garlic. Cut the scallions into 2-inch lengths, then slice thin lengthwise. Add these ingredients to the pot.

4

Season with salt, pepper flakes and cayenne pepper, and mix thoroughly.

5

Cover the pot and let the mixture stand at room temperature for 2 days.

6

Casual kimchi will keep at least 10 days. Refrigerate in a jar.
