Modified Kimchi

2nd time i attempted this recipe..first was too spicy ended up i finished up myself, so i thot this try i make it less spicy...the colour may not look attractive, first of all i don't have that required amount of chilli powder as recommended..i used piment de cayenne (available in supermart) extra forte powder..is really very spicy!

I juz left with half (balance) of the chinese cabbage in my frigo..cut it into 4 parts and slice it coarsely..next i added a moderate amount of salt into a bowl of warm water, give a quick stir and pour over the cabbage. Leave it aside to sweat.

A few hours later, you can see the sweat cabbage size decrease. Rinse with water and drain. Transfer to a mixing bowl, added 2 tsp of sugar (the actual kimchi recipe i saw they have apple and pear blended into juice, and pour over the cabbage), a few dash of sesame oil and lastly shake enough of piment (avoid to spicy) and mix well..taste every now and then to check the level of spicy..et voila my own version of home-made kimchi..cheers :)
