  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1              large  head green cabbage -- or naps cabbage
  2        tablespoons  sea salt -- or to taste
     1/4           cup  minced fresh garlic
  2             inches  peeled and minced fresh ginger
  1                     jalapeno chile pepper -- or other hot pepper, seeded and minced
  1         tablespoon  ground cayenne -- or other hot chile powder, to taste
  1         tablespoon  unpasteurized miso paste -- optional
  1         tablespoon  agave nectar -- Sucanat, or organic sugar
  1                cup  diced mixed vegetables -- optional, (try green onions, cucumbers, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, bok choy, or daikon)
  1                cup  water
Rinse the cabbage well and remove the outer leaves and the root. Save the
outer leaves for later use. Chop the remaining cabbage into 1/2-inch
strips and place in a 2-quart mason jar (or two 1 -quart jars). Add 2
tablespoons of the salt and fill the jar with water. Allow it to sit for 1
to 2 hours.
Meanwhile, combine the remaining salt and all of the other ingredients in
a large bowl with just enough water to create a creamy paste.
Drain and rinse the cabbage well. Add to the bowl with the paste, and
mixed vegetables, if using. Mix until everything is well coated.
Return this mixture to the mason jar, add water to cover, and top with the
outer cabbage leaves. Loosely place the cover on the jar. Allow the jar to
sit at room temperature, out of direct sunlight, for 3 to 5 days,
depending on the climate. The final product should have a spicy and tangy
flavor. After this time it is then ready for the fridge, where it can
continue to ferment for at least a month and even longer.
Makes 4 to 6 cups
Though it needs to ferment for a few days, homemade kimchi is well worth
the wait. Considered by many to be the national dish of Korea, kim chi is
a spicy and tangy, cultured vegetable dish, typically with cabbage as the
base (consider it the sauerkraut of the East!). There are countless
varieties, each making use of different vegetables, spices, and pickling
ingredients. This is a simple version, which takes a short while to
prepare. Serve as a side with Lemon Rice (page 187), with all your Asian
meals, and as a filling in Nori Rolls (page 157).
Chefs' Tips and Tricks:  As is seen in cultures around the world, pickling
foods is the most ancient method of food preservation. It assists in
breaking down food, making it more easy to digest. The pickling process
also provides beneficial bacteria that can assist in digestive health.
