While not an authentic, this recipe if fantastic on korean street tacos. Its quick and easy and uses ingredients a well stocked kitchen would already have on hand. I like mine spicy so i used 1 tbsp of spicy sesame oil in place of one of the tbsp that were required in the recipe. All ingredients listed are really a guideline. There are as many recipes for Kim Chi as there are Korean mothers. Just mix and taste for yourself and add as you need. Especially when it comes to the sugar. This amount listed will give you a slightly sweet flavor. Add more if you like.
