Description
Kimchi (spicy Korean cabbage) There are over 100 varieties of kimchi, which differ not only by ingredients, region cooking, but by the time of salting and cooking technology. For the preparation of kimchi using garlic and red pepper, but also other products, from the common to the exotic. For example, some Korean cooks add in kimchi, ginger, sesame seeds, carrots, pine nuts, pears, chestnuts, seaweed and even salty little shrimp and oysters. I was making kimchi several times using different recipes, but this recipe for me was the most delicious and simple. Recipe taken from the book of Ilya Lazerson "Cabbage on the table is not empty". By the way, the other day we went to visit, and I brought the cabbage, I'll tell You honestly - world appetizer!)))
