Hi Anna, I’m still a little confused by this response. Your recipe calls for dunking in salt solution then removing immediately, but this reply above seems to indicate that you should soak for several hours. For whole head of cabbage, do you put in salt solution and remove immediately? Or do you actually soak for several hours?

Hello yun,
We would recommend 8hrs for the traditional kimchi. Whole napa kimchi. If u choose to do cut up quicker version, then about 4 hrs. ^^

Let me know How it went. ^^

How long do we soak the cabbage in the salted water? I’ve read on other websites 4-5 hours, but I’m interested in making your recipe. Thanks.

Lily,
Glad to hear ur interested in trying this recipe!
You see how we have fish sauce in our ingredients? Just substitute that with the salted shrimp. Basically people use different kinds of fish sauce for their kimchi by their own preferences (and salted shrimp is one of those preferences)
Let me know if u have any other questions and please let us know how it turned out!

FYI Even though groceries have handmade kimchi they might add extra MSG so you might taste it little different especially if ur used to it ^^

Hello,
The best kimchi I ever had came hand made from a korean grocery store and contained salted shrimp. Do you know how I could add salted shrimp to your kimchi recipe to get that same taste?
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us!
