Ingredients
Fresh napa cabbage, daikon radish, spring onions, ginger, garlic, apples, pears, celery stalks, kohlrabi, onion, fish sauce, Korean chili flakes (gochugaru), rice flour, seaweed, coarse non-iodized sea salt, and a small amount of fermented salted shrimp for depth of flavor. All ingredients are natural, with no added vinegar or preservatives, allowing the flavor to develop solely through natural fermentation.

How to make kimchi
The cabbage is first salted to draw out moisture and create the perfect crunchy texture. Once rinsed and drained, it is gently coated with a seasoned chili paste and mixed with fresh vegetables. The kimchi is then packed into glass jars and left to ferment at cool temperature for 3–4 days, creating a fresh, lightly tangy kimchi with active cultures and vibrant flavor.

Here are 10 important points to be careful about when making Korean kimchi,

• Use fresh, high-quality vegetables, as kimchi relies heavily on the natural flavor of its ingredients.

• Salt the cabbage properly to remove excess water while keeping it crisp and flexible.

• Rinse the salted cabbage thoroughly to avoid kimchi becoming overly salty.

• Maintain clean hands, tools, and containers to prevent unwanted bacteria during fermentation.

• Balance the seasoning carefully, as too much chili, garlic, or fish sauce can overpower the final taste.

• Use non-iodized salt, since iodine can interfere with the fermentation process.

• Pack the kimchi tightly in containers to reduce air pockets that can cause spoilage.

• Leave enough space in the container for gases released during fermentation.

• Control fermentation temperature, as warmer conditions speed up fermentation and cooler conditions slow it down.

• Taste and monitor the kimchi regularly to decide when it has reached your preferred level of fermentation.
