Notes

  • You can eat this right away, but it's best to let it sit in the fridge for at least one day to allow the flavors to soak in.
  • Use clean utensils to take out the kimchee from the container. Dirty utensils will make the kimchee spoil faster (especially oily utensils).
  • The cabbage cores can be thinly sliced and added to soups as they will soften up nicely and add good flavor.
