Mahg Kimchi is a baechu (Napa) Kimchi cut in smaller bites. Ingredients are very similar to a pogi Kimchi recipe EXCEPT you don't need to put radish in this one and you don't need to 'stuff' but just mix everything together at the end. So this recipe is considered the easier version of Kimchi recipe. You'll realize steps will be very similar to pogi Kimchi recipe but we'll post images again for you. Good luck!

Ingredients

1 whole Napa Cabbage (Medium-size)
3 scallions, cut into 1 inch lengths
1/2 oz ginger root, peeled and minced
2 tsp finely chopped garlic, purchase from a store or chop it at home
1/4 cup 'morton' salt (for pickling)
1 tsp 'morton’ salt (for mixing)
1/2 cup hot chili pepper flake
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp sweet rice power OR flour

DON’T wash it yet. Just take off all the dirty (holes..unappealing brown color) outer leaves.

Split Napa into 4 parts. First split into two halves and then into quarters.
Cut each quarter Napa into 1.5 in. length.

Wash Napa once and drain. Now we are ready to pickle Napa.

In a bowl, add Napa little by little while sprinkling salt on it so you can sprinkle salt evenly.

Let it sit for 2 hrs.

WHILE YOU ARE WAITING FOR NAPA …let's prepare Pul.

Mix 1 cup water and flour/sweet rice powder in a pot and stir till boil. Turn it off when it boils and let it cool. Set it aside. (This porridge like mixture is called “Pul” which is used to pull all the flavors together and helps fermentation process.)

WHEN NAPA IS READY…

Wash Napa and drain.

Combine drained Napa with hot pepper flakes, scallions, garlic, ginger, fish sauce, and 1tsp salt. Mix well.

Now it's done! You can eat it now or let it be processed at least 24 hrs.

Store Kimchi in a jar, (You should leave some room for fermentation or it will overflow from the jar). Press them down firmly to get rid of any air bubbles. Store in the room temperature for 24 hours and then refrigerate. YAY!!
