Ingredients:
- thumb sized chunk of ginger root
- gallon jug with top
- quarter cup korean salted shrimp
- half cup korean chili powder (my mom was very specific about this ingredient, apparently other chili powders don'tsp taste right)
Directions:
- -mix 1 cup salt with .5 gallon water, then soak the cabbage in the salt water for 3 to 5 hours.
- -blend salted shrimp, ginger and garlic in a blender until finely mixed
- -in a bowl mix this sauce with the scallions, chili powder, sugar, tablespoon of kosher salt really well.
- -rinse cabbage really well and drain very well
- -combine the cabbage with the mixture, covering it thoroughly getting the sauce in every crevice. mix it well!
- -put the cabbage and sauce into the jar and press down firmly to remove as much air bubbles inside as possible. seal the jar.
- -leave the jar to sit for 3 days in a dark cool place. should be ready by then and will probably have a very strong smell when you open it (that is normal, it is fermented!) and taste delicious. refrigerate after opening!
- -Important tip: Excessive use of salt and ginger will inhibit the proliferation of friendly bacteria so try not to add too much more than suggested measurements.
