I tried your recipe and WoW!! Sooo Good!! I tried it fresh and it tasted excellent! Last time that I tried to make Kimchi (before PC laptops), I tried to make kimchi but the recipe was nothing like yours- no paste- no Pear- no Shrimp- etc. It was a disaster. I asked a Korean grocer for his recipe and tried again. It turned out really good...so good that I kept snacking on it until one day it got 'moldy'. I had to throw it out. This time I am resisting the snacking desire, keeping it air tight with occasional burping, and buying some pork belly to fry up when the kimchi is ready from the fridge. Thanks for all of the fool proof information. Please make more kimchi videos for us!-- Maybe Red cabbage, or Broccoli, or Cauliflower, or Pumpkin kimchi recipes? Thanks again!
I am head over heels into Korean cuisine and KDrama. Love this channel
Great! I love Kdrama as well. Thank you!
Every time I made this, I always ended up a little short with the sauce for my last quarter of cabbage. These days I separate the sauce into quarters so I don't have to open the others back up to rob a little. _Extra work I know, but it works better for me._
While I'm commenting I might as well add a couple other differences.
*Asian pears aren't easy to find (and expensive when I do), so I use 1/3 a 'sweeter type' of apple. I also add a tablespoon of plum sauce. And I use Chinese garlic chives with my veggies.*
The hard part is having enough left over for kimchi stew a few weeks after making it. The whole family loves my kimchi!
Thanks for the video!
Great tips and substitutes!! Haha you need make a big batch of kimchi then.
Perfect way to start making kimchi for the first time for my Umma by starting small and after doubling and tripling etc. Thank you for teaching! 🙏
I'm glad I found you! My local Korean options are mediocre, and the place I really like is 40 minutes from me. Going to buy some ingredients soon 😊.
Great idea!!
I’m definitely gonna try this recipe! I’ve been asking my mom for the recipe but her recipe is always “about this much” and “little bit of” haha. Love how you have your recipe using measuring cups for a small batch!
Oh thank you! Hope you tried it.
Right!! Thank you.😊
Yes, it is nice to get more accurate measurements for complicated recipes. But once you have made some then you can go to the "little of this, some of that" type of cooking that signifies a real cook. All the recipes I got from my mother were "some of this, some of that, a little of this, a pinch of that." And my favorite cook book from the earlier part of the last century for the most part just gives the ingredients and expects those cooking to know about how much. And I also really liked your video and kimchi methods. Thanks
Can’t wait to make this! Oh How I miss Jeannie Gartman! A master friend, Fairy God Mother, Devoted Sensei in life, art, cooking, sewing, advice, shopping warrior, etc! She was amazing at Everything! Oh how thankful I am that she cared for me as a newborn baby and was present all during my life, and any the Grace of God- He allowed me to be hers & Billy’s caretakers in their finals years and days. Billy was also amazing- always bragging that he changed my diapers! He was a master Gardener, Farmer, friend, trusted Worthy Advisor, a true hero in the US Air Force retiring as a Senior Master Sergeant! A friend to all who was blessed to know him. Always willing to help anyone.
Jeannie’s amazing recipes are so good and I would give anything if I could go back and learn from them again!
Thank you very much
Luv and support from Brazil!!!!
Awesome Channel!!!!
Although I have made kimchi at home before, the tips and tricks you have mentioned during the video really saved the day! Thank you and looking forward to more videos!
Oh awesome! so happy to hear that!
Try kimchi with can tuna,omg so good
I appreciate your style of teaching because I feel confident in trying your recipe! Thank you. I am looking forward to the dishes I can create with Kimchi! Blessings! to you & your family
This looks wonderful! Thank you for sharing your recipe and video!
Thank YOU!
This is my third batch and I am loving it! Thank you!
Great to hear! Thanks!
Great to see you are back, love all your videos! I'll definitely try it.
Thank you!
Great explaining why we should use this & that! She is an awesome cook/chef! By the way, nice background of views!
Thank you so much for your instruction. It's great that you provide some troubleshooting for when things don't quite end up the way you plan!
Glad it helped
This looks so good and fun to make
Loved this video! Thank you for the clear instructions 😊✨
You're so welcome!
Love this.. 감사합니다.
😘 😘 😉
Thank you!
OMG you seem like a very sweet lady, and a sweet mom. I'm assuming the other young lady in the video is your daughter. You're so helpful. Thank you so much for sharing. A lot of people out there show videos of making Kimchi in bulk which makes it hard for first timers to replicate it with just one Napa cabbage.
aww thank you! And I'm glad this is helpful to you. No, she's not my daughter. She was a camera crew.
Thank you SOOOO SOOO MUCH! We love your channel, we live in Canada and really enjoy Korean flavours! We went to Korea a few times as we have always loved the traditional dishes :) Stay well, and we are so grateful!! Sincerely, Japanese/Canadian Family
Yesssss, you're back. Please post more :)
More definitely coming! Thank you!
@@koreanbapsang6835 Yeongeun jorim? 😊
This is such a great instructional video, thank you!
Thanks you so much! Happy to hear that.
Just discovered your channel. I'm excited to watch your videos. Thanks!
Awesome! Hope you enjoy them. Thank you!!
After looking at dozens of recipes we settled on yours. Your video instructions are an excellent balance of simplicity and detail. Just finished making our first batch of kimchi. Found the gochugaru, sweet rice flour, saeujeot at a little Korean grocery tucked away on the next block. Found no Mu (Korean radish) so used Daikon. As to salt used course Kosher salt which isn't iodized. Our pre-ferment taste test was satisfactory - salty but not too salty. Looking forward the finished product in two weeks. Anticipation - Anticipa-a-tion is making us wait . . . .
Oh sounds great! Glad you were able to find most of the ingredients. Ha ha I know it's hard to wait, but well worth the wait!
I'd love to know how this batch from almost a year ago ended up turning out. Have you made kimchi often since? If so, I'd LOVE for you to upload a video on the things you learned the hard way or the most important tips for inexperienced cooks to be aware of. I wonder which country you're in? Anyhow, I love reading that other people search for the best online tutorials and follow them too. :D
C000q
What is koshikaru ? What is inside vegetable or animal
Please let me know
excellent video with clear directions and proportions for real kimchi! thank you so much.
Thank YOU for the nice words!! Glad it was helpful.
this lady talk make me feel so calm 😌 very peacy
Aww great to hear that! Thank you!!
That enormous, beautiful cabbage, oh what a specimen! I'm in the UK and our napa cabbages are scrawny, flaccid, underweight things. Yours look so incredibly healthy in terms of how they've been grown, transported and kept in store. They look crunchy and just beautiful in colour and shape. I'm so envious. I love these kimchi making videos for smaller batches that less experienced cooks can try at home. I made a wonderful batch a few months ago and tried to replicate my success last week and failed dismally. I wish I knew what I did wrong. Thus, I return to my mentors here on CZcams and try once more. Thank you so much for sharing your time and expertise with us hungry, determined and experimental cooks!
You can use 2 or 3 small ones that weigh 5 to 6 pounds for this recipe! Good luck with your next one!
I LOVED this video!!! I'm definitely going to try this!
Thank you!! Please do!
Great step by step thank you for sharing and teaching how to start with one head of napa❤
You are so welcome!
this is one of the most informative traditional kimchi videos, thank you! and it looks so beautiful the individual little bundles of cabbage. i would love to see the version where you're doing the whole box of cabbage! can't wait to try this
Thank you!
Thank you so much for your instructive videos! I have read through and tried many of your recipes on the website but never knew that you have a CZcams channel! 😳🤩😍 please make more videos because it is like your words turned into live actions😃 ! Beautiful!
Thank you, Betty! Trying but keep running into problems. But will definitely be back!
I am so grateful for this video!! I've been so intimidated about making kimchi at home and I was wishing I had a teacher who could step me through it all! This helps me so much!! I can't wait to try making this! Very straightforward explanation! Thank you so much!
You are so welcome! I'm glad it's helpful. Yes you can do it!! I can't wait for you to try it either.
I have wanted to learn how to make kimchi for a long time. I finally tackled it and decided on your recipe in this video, and I am so glad I did! The way you demonstrated making it really inspires confidence because you explained everything in detail. My first batch came out excellent, and I made a second batch that is fermenting in my fridge right now, which came out even better. It is so delicious! I look forward to making more of your recipes👍
Oh that's awesome to hear!!! I'm glad my recipe and video was helpful and hope you find many more recipes you love here and on my website. Thank you so much!!
Kimchi has always intimidated me, I’m going to try this. Thank you for sharing!❤️
Yes! You can do it!
Thank you so much for sharing your recipe! It is clear and easy to follow, and I found your advice about salting and brining the cabbage very useful. It was my first time making kimchi, I followed your recipe and it worked really well! I will be making it again. Thank you ❤
Wonderful! Thanks for trying it and letting me know how it went!
It looks so delicious! I’m making this today! Thank you 😁💜
Hope you enjoy!

Thank you for the easy instructions and tutorial!! I now have 6 quart jars of AMAZING looking kimchi fermenting on my kitchen counter!! It’s bubbling... still a bit sweet so waiting another day or two before I refrigerate :) :)
oh sorry I missed your comment. Hope you enjoyed all of it. Thank you!!!
@@koreanbapsang6835 So delicious and flavorful! Great ferment! Made another huge batch with a friend a few months later- via zoom- and plan on doing another batch in the New Year. I’ll be using your video ;) Happy Holidays!
Thank you for this, i will make my own kimchi from now on. ♥
Great! That's the best way!!
This video was very well explained, im definitely gonna try this out. Thanks for sharing ❤️ From Malaysia
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
beautiful chef and a beautiful accent and lovely kimchi. I am new here and loving it
Thank you!
This looks delicious 🤤
Hope you try it.
ohh i love kimchi, i'll try to use your recipe next time 😘
Thank you!
Just finished making this recipe. Now for the magic to begin! It smells awesome. I hope it tastes good. I really like this recipe because you mention it is ok to leave the cabbage in the salt water for 6-8 hours. I have never left it for that long but I think..I hope...it will make it even easier to digest.
Hope it turned out well for you and your kimchi is delicious!!
Thank you for sharing! I had no idea how complicated the process was.
It's not that bad once you try it.
This is perfect
Thank you!
Yum. I made some, sooo good 👍😊
Glad it turned out well for you!
Great tutorial!! My kim chee came out great!
So happy to hear that! Thank you so much for trying it out!
Excited to try the vegan kimchi recipe on your website. Thank you!
Yeah the same method, just different ingredients. Enjoy!!
I'm an Indian I too wanted to try kimchi so I have seen CZcams videos who suggested according to Indian available products like normal cabbage n all but I just wanted to know properly the ingredients list so I googled there it took to a website where you have addressed ingredients names and the process details with video...I hope to do as much authentically as possible very soon 😊
Glad you found my kimchi recipe! I hope it works out well for you with the ingredients you can find in India.
@@koreanbapsang6835 😊 Hope so
I love your recipes! New subscriber here ❤️
Thank you!!
So neat.
Thanks!
New subscriber here from Germany, I will try this recipe because I’ve been buying kimchi so I will try to make fresh kimchi
nothing beats homemade kimchi!
Yummy
You are so lovely!!!
👏🏻👏🏻 thanks!
Glad to see you are finally on CZcams! I hv been going to your website for years as my first choice for authentic korean recipes, not Maangchi but Koreanbapsang. You’re the best.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you!!!
I’ve never made kimchi at home before. But I remember my grandmother making them. Bet it tastes so much better than store bought!
Yep! Definitely is!
thank you so much for this recipe! please show us how to make tteokbokki some time
You're welcome! Filmed it. Hopefully get it edited soon.
thank you!
You're welcome!
Will definitely be trying this recipe. I can’t eat kimchi but my husband loves it. 👍👍👍
Yes do it!!!
I tried it… I liked it
Great!! Thank you so much!
Beautiful backyard.
thank you!
Jus made my first batch (ever). The only ingredients I couldn't find where the Korean radish and the greens. Still, thank you for detailed instructions. It gave me the courage to try.
Glad you tried it!
Leave the skins of the carrots and radish, as that really helps in producing yeast and lab.
Excellent korean mother.
Thank you!!
It is a little bit hard to make kimchi BUT it is worth it ! You can have it for a long time like 3months or more !
God bless all mothers .... man i love food
And you miss are looking lovely
Thank you!
I don't know how many days we need to keep out but watching this i understood
Great!
Following your guidance for the first time after a number of my trials using other recipes I have successfully made kimchi that tastes exactly like good one from Korean restaurants. Thank you and keep sharing your videos please. During your videos you also shared insights into why and how things would turn out this way or that way in a concise manner. It makes a big difference for viewers and helps them replicate the steps easily and creatively to fit their own taste.
Oh thank you!! That's great to hear. I'm trying to do more videos for sure.
Thank you for sharing this recipe ! Looks so nice :)
My pleasure 😊
This looks yummy! Your kimchi is kind of like Maangchi’s but with some differences so I look forward to trying your version.
Please do! Everyone makes kimchi differently.
Nice to see you back sharing knowledge. If I wanted to make aged kimchi would I leave it out longer before refrigerating?
You certainly can leave it out longer to expedite the fermentation, but slow fermentation (aging) at low temp is better for the depth of kimchi flavor.
Thank you for your guidance!
I made it and it's fermenting right now
Looking forward to eating delicious kimchi!
Great! Hope it turned out well for you.
Can you make a video on how to make Yeongeun jorim please! 🙏🏼❤️
noted!
I've been wanting to try kimchi for a while now but I have been super nervous about it. The kind we have in our store, I was told isn't that good. I am so glad to have come across your video. The instructions are so clear! I'm the type to need clear instructions lol. Thank you so much ! I also seen somewhere where you have to open the container every so often so it doesn't explode for lack of better word. Is this true?
Leave some room at the top because kimchi expands as it ferments and keep it in the fridge after a day or two. It should be okay.
Thank you for a great recipe! I live in deep South USA so can I substitute our Southern mustard greens for the Korean mustard leaf? I love the sharp bitter taste and would like to find out if it would be successful in kimchi.
Sure! That will be great!
😋😋😋yummy😋😋😋
Thank you 😊
Thank you, definitely trying this recipe if I can find the ingredients here in Whangarei nz
Please do!
My grandmother passed away a couple years ago and we couldn’t find her kimchi recipe so I hope this works
Oh sorry to hear about your loss. Hope this help bring back delicious memories of her kimchi.
Wow that looks really tasty. I would love to attempt to make this recipe, but I'm not sure if I have the skills to make it look so good. So how long can your store this Kimchi once you make it?
You can store it for a long time, weeks or sometimes months, if it lasts that long.
Thank you so much for this very detailed recipe and beautiful video! Is there an advantage to keep the cabbage more intact? Other videos people chop the cabbage into small pieces right away.
There are different types of kimchi. I have both types on my website. Please check them out to read about the differences.
@@koreanbapsang6835 Thank you so much! I didn’t know you had a website. I will check it out
Love this. You’re like the Asian Martha Stewart.
Aww thank you! Hope you try making it soon.
Hi I just found this video and I live in Scotland and I am wonder if I can’t get Korean pear if it could substituted with an apple or a standard uk pear? I’m not familiar with the flavour of a Korean pear.
Really want to try making my own as I’m obsessed with kimchi 😋 and the store bought just isn’t it 😂
Hope I don’t get lost as it’s been a few years since video was made 🙈
❤❤
You can omit pear. Kimchi will still taste good. Yes an apple is good also. Hope you try making it soon.
❤️❤️❤️
